A journey through the Christmases of yesteryear, with artwork, photos, magazine content, and others treasures of decades past.We all have memories of long-ago Christmases locked away in our hearts. This book explores-with vibrant period art, surprising facts, and excerpts from letters, diaries, and magazines through the decades-what the holiday was like from the 1920s through the 1960s.In Christmas Memories, Susan Waggoner, author of It's a Wonderful Christmas and Under the Tree, looks at bygone holidays from the perspective of those who lived them. Beginning with 'Christmas in the Melting Pot,' which depicts yuletide in the early 1920s, she presents detailed snapshots that re-create seasons past. She chronicles the gifts, activities, fads, and fancies that made each Christmas unique; indulges in fantasy shopping at yesterday's prices; shares thoughts from letters, diaries, and magazines of the era; and makes the past come to life with vibrant period art that lets you revel in the irresistible nostalgia of Christmas memories.
