About this item
Starting with a world view of Christmas anticipation, this book encourages children and adults to look around them—and within—to think about simple gifts, greetings, and decorations at this memory-rich time of year. Family activity: make song sheets from a clever book-within-a-book for family sing-alongs or a caroling party. Plus, personalize four keepsake wooden ornaments.
