Nostalgic Christmas Stories

I'll be home for Christmas is a collection of Christmas stories celebrating the memories of people from the `good old days' 20's-30's-40's. Stories of simpler times with good friends and family make me wish I lived back then and had so many close friends and relatives! I particularly enjoyed hearing the stories about the food people ate on the farm (5 kinds of cake and pie! Yumm!) But also they are stories of sacrifice, such as the soldier who spent all his money on Christmas gifts and had to hitchhike across country to get home, to the poor families who `made do' with simpler traditions. The photos and illustrations in this book are very beautiful, and while I haven't tried the recipes in this book, they look appealing. I highly recommend this for fans of Christmas stories and those looking for nostalgic holiday reading. 5 stars
