I have always like the Ideals editions and I found this one and read it for Christmas.
It has a variety of poems, songs and short stories by all sorts of authors and writers. It also has wonderful pictures both real and painted. A good book to share with children.

This book is from Ideals and I never go wrong with an Ideals book. According to the contents page we have:
Christmas Preparations - Blazing hearths and drifting snow, Holly wreaths and mistle toe,
Yuletide greetings, candle glow - This is Christmas!
Christmas Anticipation - Presents stacked beneath the tree, Some for you, some for me, But we cannot peek, you see, This is Christmas!
Christmas Decorations - Festive trees and child's delight, Carols ringing through the night,
Frosted panes aglow with light - This is Christmas!
Christmas Journeys - Home they come from far and near, Those whom family ties hold dear; Laughing love and wholesome cheer - This is Christmas!
Christmas Sensations - Roasting turkey, baking pies, Ice cold air and starry skies, Friends and family warm inside - This is Christmas!
Christmas Celebrations - Home they come from far and near, Those whom family ties hold dear; Laughing love and wholesome cheer, This is Christmas!
Christmas Reflections - Memories of days gone by, Children's laughter, family ties, Old dear friends and warm hearth fires - This is Christmas!
Christmas Inspiration - Ancient tidings told again, Peace on earth, good will toward men! Precious now as they were then - This is Christmas!
The artwork is beautiful, the poems are beautiful, the stories are wonderful, and the carols are all old favorites. This is Christmas, almost - right now it's still July.
"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love."
