My mom bought this book for me for Christmas because she knows how much I like reading Christmas books. After reading other reviews, it seems that dePaola is a well known illustrator which explains why every page has an illustrated border. This is definitely a colorful book.
He shares small vignettes about his Christmas memories from when he was born until 2006. His life was more interesting than I would have thought.

I bought this book for its educational value and because I like Tomie dePaola's work. It was not disappointing. A good memoir by a well-liked author. The book spans Mr. dePaola's life, almost from birth until 2006. Ut has rich historical and cross-cultural material. What I did not expect was how much I would appreciate insight into this author's life.
This charming book consists of brief vignettes of the many Christmases of his life. The sense I get from dePaola is that Christmas is a time of family, friends, celebration, and Catholic masses. I especially enjoyed reading about his time spent in a monastery, which filled me with the wonder and beauty of a simple, meditative life.
This was a sweet book of Tomie dePaola's Christmas memories--from when he was a little boy up to a few years ago. I had no idea that he was once a monk--he has such an interesting life!
I love his children's books and this one - for all ages, as he says - is very nice, but it leaves me wondering - who is this man, really?
This was a fun, interesting read - it'll get you into the spirit!
