Way too funny and way too wonderful!
I loved this book!! The photography and graphics are unbelievable. If you like vintage ornaments and old-fashioned holiday graphics, you will adore this book too.

But the delight of this book does not stop with the visual appeal. The authors combine the pictorial beauty of this book with their quick wit and sentimental charm. The stories they share will make you laugh and cry. It is absolutely delightful. The perfect holiday treat!

The photography of ornaments and holiday graphics are spectacular. The stories are very touching and will keep you reading for more.

I plan to share the beauty of this book as gifts this season.

Even if you're not particularly sentimental about Christmas, the images and recollections of the authors are a delightful experience. The photos and graphics are charming and magical, obviously done by people who truely love the Christmas season. Anyone can appreciate the vintage flavor of this little gem.

This book brings back so many great memories of Christmas and decorating the tree. It was so much fun reading and looking through every page for ornaments that we might have had on our trees over the years and seeing the many different kinds of ornaments. It is a book that I will spend much time reading and viewing for many, many years.

Charming and nostalgic, giving us a glimpse into the history of holiday adornment. A great stocking stuffer!

The perfect gift for bringing back all those childhood memories. Any babyboomer rejoice! You will find this book filled with beautful pictures of those ornaments not only found on your own childhood tree, but perhaps your grandparents as well. As a child I remember the importance each Christmas season of unpacking those precious ornaments and hoping not to find one broken. I no longer have any those ornaments but I will always have the memories of such ornaments inside this wonderful little book. The pictures are just beautiful!

Seriously, I felt the little money I paid was wasted. Yes, the photographs are lovely and somewhat ethereal, but there are few of them and the narrative uninformative. Not even worth being a coffee table book.

The knowledge the authors have on Christmas collectibles is massive. They are historical,and humorous. I bought the first book when I started collecting pixies and learned so much more from them about trim, authenticity and why people started decorating the way they did from the early 1900's through the 60's. This book is lovely, but their other book is better. I hope they write a third.

This is a such a fun little book! Warm holiday memories, lots of humor and beautiful photography. I thoroughly enjoyed every page! The best gift book you will ever find for a vintage/antique ornament collector.

I was pleasantly surprised to find some of my ornaments I have collected over the last 30 years in the book. Thanks for the history on them. Nice easy style of writing. I feel like the authors are cousins. Love the layout of the pages.
