Christmas Almanac
Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!
While it’s cute and all, and we decorate and dress up and have a bunch of fun, Halloween in my house is just a signal to get the Christmas bins out because the tree’s going up November 1st!
The Christmas Almanac from Welcome Books is a great gift for the Christmas lovers among us. It’s lavishly illustrated with 300 vintage images on 240 gilt-edged pages, and includes pretty much everything imaginable. If it’s Christmas, it’s in there. It’s part reference, part anthology, part cookbook, part history book, part songbook, part shopping guide, part crafts, and part trivia book. Inside the cover are eight chapters which include classic stories and poems, recipes, history & traditions, carols & games, gift & card ideas and shopping tips, Christmas facts & trivia, entertainment, crafts, Christmas ornaments, information on volunteering and tips on everything from how to have a “green” Christmas and more.
All that sells for under $20 at Amazon. But really…having this on your family’s bookshelf is priceless.
