5.0 out of 5 stars A Trip Through Time, November 27, 2000

By 

Dean Fenton (Rolling Meadows, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chicago Christmas: 100 Years of Christmas Memories (Paperback)

This book takes its readers on a trip through time to visit Christmas in past years. It is filled with stories of Chicago's past - some funny, some poignant, some sad - but all entertaining.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who loves Chicago and loves Christmas. I've bought multiple copies for gifts and would recommend it to anyone searching for a unique gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfull tribute to a great city., November 18, 2000

By 

Rob Spatz (Northbrook, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chicago Christmas: 100 Years of Christmas Memories (Paperback)

Simply stated, Jim Benes did a wonderful job in putting 100 years of history in 203 pages. It brought together many great memories of Christmas Past, and allowed me to share my history with those not from this great city.

Whether from Chicago or not, this book details many thoughts. From what was on the radio or under the tree or on the table Mr. Benes succinctly reminds on and all of the great joy the holiday season brings.
