Christmas has always been special. But the Christmases during and after World War II were just a little bit more special. Men stationed on palm-covered islands dreamed of snowmen and winter wonderlands. Home front families looked forward to the day when ""home for keeps"" would be a reality. And when that day finally came, the celebration was enormous. Christmas acquired a jubilant glow, a festive lavishness that persists to this day. From toy catalogs to Bubbler lights to Rudolph's bright red nose, a vast number of today's traditions date back to that special time. Bursting with visual icons and images, trimmed with sparkling and informative text, It's a Wonderful Christmas celebrates the era in high style. If you've ever wondered how the tradi- tion of department store Santas got started, or what the all-time most popular Christmas song is, this is the place to look.

It's a Wonderful Christmas is for everyone who loves Christmas and for everyone to whom ""happy holidays"" conjures memories of home movies, ""The Chipmunk Song,"" glittering store windows, and Santa relaxing with an ice cold Coca-Cola. A must-have to treasure, now and for years to come.
