The Twelve Days of Christmas
For many centuries young and old alike have
been singing about the maids a-milking,
the lords a-leaping, and a partridge in a
pear tree. A Christmas carol, a parlor
game, and a delightful counting song-The
Twelve Days of Christmas - is indeed a
favorite of the holiday season.
In this book, sumptuously illustrated by
Jan Brett, all the splendid images of The
Twelve Days of Christmas come joyously
alive. Look closely and you'll see not only
the extravagant gifts given by a suitor to
his lady, but a love story, a family's busy
Christmas preparations, "Merry Christmas"
in eleven languages, and a veritable
menagerie of charming creatures.
Jan Brett's exquisitely detailed
illustrations so rich in traditional folk
motifs, make this book a visual treat to be
enjoyed over and over again.

The Christmas Tree Ship
From the Publisher: Captain Herman
Schuenemann became affectionately know
as "Captain Santa" for his yearly voyage
from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Chicago
with a load of freshly cut Christmas trees.
Families would wait anxiously at the docks
for their choice of the best of the best
Christmas trees. Captain Schuenemann's
voyage of 1912 was to be his last. Fully
loaded and ready to sail, the Rouse Simmons
set out for its final destination on the
southern end of Lake Michigan. Despite the
crew's best efforts, the ship was unable to
withstand the gales of the Great Lakes and
went down off the coast of Two Rivers,
Wisconsin.

An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Remember a time...
A time when every Christmas tree was real.
A time when Christmas shopping meant paging
through a Sears & Roebuck catalog, and
heading downtown to Main Street.
A time when Christmas dinner was prepared
from canning jars lining the pantry
shelves, and from fruits and vegetables
grown in your own garden.
Christmas meant the arrival of Norman
Rockwell paintings of Santa on the cover of
The Saturday Evening Post, and hand-
written letters addressed to the North Pole
with wishes for record players, train sets
and Raggedy Ann dolls.
An Old-Fashioned Christmas invites readers
to re-live the memories that guide our
hearts homeward to the much-loved
traditions of yesteryear.
