Children's Book Of Christmas

A charming time capsule of holiday spirit from 1911, this anthology gathers Christmas myths, songs, poems, hymns, and literary excerpts from across centuries into one delightful volume. The selections span from ancient winter solstice traditions to Victorian-era favorites, offering readers a window into how generations before us celebrated the season. There's something irreplaceable in holding these pages: the unfamiliar rhythms of old hymns, the peculiar tenderness of Edwardian verse, the way Christmas logic once operated. Parents should note the collection contains language and attitudes common to its era, period-typical references that reflect the biases of 1911 rather than modern values. For readers who treasure vintage holiday books, literary historians, or families seeking to understand how Christmas traditions evolved, this anthology serves as both entertainment and cultural artifact.
