This is a fun book of Tomie de Paola's personal reminiscences of many Christmases thoughout his life. I heard him interviewed last year on the radio and he was so charming that I decided to read this book. It features of few de Paola-esque drawings to accompany the charming stories. Since I love quite a few of his children's stories, it was fun to read.
He describes a magical Christmas in Santa Fe and attending Las Posadas there. I think it was here that he decided to write a children's book about Las Posadas. Next year, I am going to take MJ and go to a local reenactment.
Compiling a book of family Christmas stories like this would be a neat family project.
