Christmas & Holiday Stories
Christmas & Holiday Stories gathers the personalized storybooks Wild Time Comics & Stories prints for the season in Attleboro, Massachusetts — keepsakes made out by name to one child, one parent or one grandparent.
Most of the shelf is built around a first Christmas. Some titles are written to the baby; some are written from the baby to the adult who carried them through it — to Mom, to Dad, to Grandma, to Grandpa. Others take the familiar Christmas Eve poem and put your own household inside it instead of somebody else's. What they have in common is a name printed through the pages, so the book stops describing December in general and starts describing one.
The rest covers the other winter occasions a family marks: a first Christmas in a new role, a first visit to a grandparent's house at that time of year, a story about saving the holiday. They are chosen as gifts on the day and then put away with the decorations, which is where a seasonal book earns its keep — it comes back out every year with everything else.
Christmas & Holiday Stories is where to start if you want the book to become part of the season rather than an afterthought to it.
