This little gem is a compilation of all things Christmas, and it's the kind of book that can be read at intervals - you can put it down and easily pick it up later. It is chock full of stories, customs, history, recipes, and all sorts of helpful tips. All of these tidbits are presented in an appealing format, with modern merry-making interspersed with venerable traditions. Perhaps the most delightful thing about the book, however, is the manner of illustration. Vintage pictures and artwork create a fanciful, nostalgic atmosphere. A few minutes with the Almanac in hand is a transport into a simple yet magical holiday realm..
