From the Midwest Book Review-rated 5-star author, Lisa Ann Bargeman, comes a delightful look at Christmases throughout history in the words of the people who lived them. A collection of vignettes about the pleasantries of Christmas in varying eras, Christmas Memoirs: A Family Treasury is based on the true story of one family.  It is a nice Christmas gift or stroll down "Memory Lane," designed to enrich your holiday season or that of someone you love. While focused on Christmas, the book is non-denominational in nature, with plenty of yuletide appeal. Full-color illustrations.

 

"Lisa Bargeman's Christmas Book is a gem. Filled with poignant stories, it is refreshing to the mind as well as to the body. A Christmas joy for every household to possess. Please purchase it and you won't be disappointed. An excellent work from a busy pen."

Pius Ashiara, Humana Press

"Christmas Memoirs: A Family Treasury is what a memoir should be. Bargemanıs documentation of one family blurs the lines between the familial and cultural, forging a rare bridge between personal and sociological histories. What makes Christmas... so significant is not because it tells the story of one familyıs struggle, but because it speaks about the cultural institution of Christmas in a context that is pure Americana - the assimilation of immigrated customs into an ever-evolving modern context."
