Every Winter Season, millions of households engage in
the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree. And how many Americans
have grown up with the delight of the annual unpacking of the family's
ornament collection, gathered through the years; each one with its
special story to tell? Christmas Ornaments ReCollections brings back
that feeling of childish wonder-a very special package to open year
after year, filled with richly detailed pictures of Exquisite vintage
glass ornaments, shiny and precious - and no one to tell you "don't touch"!

The book is also a tribute to one of America's favorite pastimes:
Collecting. In this case, a collection built over the course of many
years, found in flea markets, garage sales, antique shops, and on eBay.
Ralph and David's passion for collecting and eye for quality comes through
on every page; from the evocative photos and illustrations to the stories
interspersed throughout, of how ornaments came to be such an important
part of how we celebrate the holidays.

A whole new appreciation of the Fragile Memories of Christmases
past, Christmas Ornaments will be a crowd pleaser: a dazzling stocking
stuffer or an inspiring treat for yourself.
