I probably shouldn't say I've read this since all I have done is look at every page a handful of times and read a few things here and there. This is such a lovely book. Each page has beautiful detail. The cover has red foil holly and ivy around the edges. There are delightful sections including songs, recipes, poems, stories etc. Definitely worth adding to the collection.
Just bought this book and read through it! This was a tradition to have out at Christmas growing up and I'm so excited to share it with my kids! I love that there are traditional Christmas stories, carols AND classic N.R. art work all in one book!
If you need to buy a gift for someone this is something that people will pull out every year and cherish!

This is another book that I grew up with, and always remember reading during the holidays. It's chock full of songs, poems, stories and of course lots of beautiful Norman Rockwell art celebrating the Christmas season. A great book to put on your coffee table in December.
Was expecting more of an art collection. THis had sheet music, recipes, poems, stories, etc. (and pictures scattered throughout)
YTou can always get these for a penny on amazon.

This book was a gift from my husband once upon a Christmas. I grew up knowing Rockwell through his Saturday Evening Post covers and didn't really think of him as an artist in the sense of Van Gogh or Rembrandt for example - just a great illustrator. While in Washington D.C. (1972) there was an exhibit of his paintings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and I totally changed my feelings about Norman Rockwell. The Four Freedoms is timeless, the little girl walking to school surrounded by ?? Nation...more
Every Christmas we would pull this out and put it on the coffee table. We read it countless times. Highly recommended as a charming Christmas gift/decoration.
This is a delightful coffe table book filled with short stories, poems, carols, and not nearly enough pictures. I read many of the short stories. There are even recipes at the end.

Everyone who is still a kid at heart.
I enjoy this book whenever I get the whim to open it again. It brings back so many happy, comfy, childhood memories. I love Christmas and Norman Rockwell so it's the perfect combo. It helps keep the fun feeling of the holidays in my heart.
My very favorite Christmas Book. This is a memory of Christmas every year from the time I was nine until today. We pull it out in December and read the stories and poems over and over.
Still my favorite Christmas book. I have used the carrols section the most.
Another great collection of short Christmas writings.
