Summary

"This nostalgic volume of Christmas stories, poems, carols, recipes, and memorabilia celebrates the holiday's most deeply held traditions." -Publishers Weekly It's the most wonderful time of the year, and this richly illustrated treasury celebrates everything there is to love about the holiday season! It's filled with favorite Christmas stories, such as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Little Women, A Merry Christmas," and songs as well as original poems from Lee Bennett Hopkins, Naomi Shihab Nye, and others; original recipes from Erin Gleeson, Yvette van Boven, and Yotam Ottolenghi; and other holiday trappings. All the artwork is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, ranging from religious paintings depicting the Nativity, to 20th-century illustrations showing Santa Claus, to wintry scenes of snowy landscapes and ice skaters. With beautiful art and joyful text, this is a wonderful book for the entire family to share. "An ideal single source book of traditional Christmas songs and stories, illustrated with attractive imagery from artists celebrating the holiday across the centuries. It also includes new poems commissioned for the book and holiday recipes created by the chefs from the restaurant at The Met." -borg
