| 2. |  | It's a Wonderful Christmas: The Best of the Holidays 1940-1965 from Harry N. Abrams Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I wouldn't change a thing about this book - except...for the ending! It is a wonderful book filled with tons of pictures, fun retro Christmas facts and info, but it ends flat. I turned the last page expecting some sort of closing remarks and it was over **poof** The last sentence describes the Life... |

| 9. | [no image] | Foxfire Christmas, A from Doubleday Customer Review: Take your thoughts away from the commercialism of Christmas by traveling through time and re imagining how poor folks joyfully celebrated Christmas. We could learn many lessons from them. |

| 13. |  | The Story of Valentine's Day from Candy Cane Press Price: $6.95 Customer Review:  This is a cute little story that explains to children why we have a Valentine's Day and why we celebrate it with cards and goodies. I wasn't really sure myself, so after reading the story I did some research on the internet. It appears that nobody really knows for sure why we celebrate Valentine's... |

| 14. | [no image] | The Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving from Scholastic Customer Review:  This book was longer than I expected it to be. The illustrations were very well done, and the history was explained well at a 5-6 year old's level. It did, however, seem to be a little non-sequitur and was definitely written from a skewed view-point. |

| 15. |  | Christmas Letters from Hell: All the News We Hate from the People We Love from Fireside Price: $8.00 Customer Review: I have the first in this series of this books and was delighted to find to find out that a second one had been written.

| 16. |  | Christmas Customs and Traditions from Dover Publications Price: $9.56 Customer Review: You certainly won't find any fluff in this book. It is not, as suggested by another reviewer, written in early modern English, but in thoroughly modern English. The prose is a bit stiff and formal, almost academic (which is consistent with its publication date), but entirely readable. There are a... |

| 17. |  | Extreme Pumpkins: Diabolical Do-It-Yourself Designs to Amuse Your Friends and Scare Your Neighbors from HP Trade Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I like some of the pumpkins in this book, but most are just too gory or sick for me to even think about creating. I like, "Cannibal Pumpkin", "Property Defender Pumpkin", "Road Kill Eating Pumpkin", and "Conjoined Twins Pumpkins" (although I could do a much better one than the one shown in the... |

| 18. |  | Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy from Holt Paperbacks Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This book explains how and why our western European culture (among others) systematically represses our natural human inclination to cut loose and enjoy ourselves, and why it is so important for our emotional and political well-being that we continue to do so! Very thorough in explanations and... |

| 19. |  | Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (NY) (Images of America) from Arcadia Publishing Price: $14.95 Customer Review: I enjoyed this book very much and only wish it were bigger in size to display the pictures better and that more could have been included. Of course spanning 75 years and so many balloons and events with each parade is a daunting task. I gladly would have paid more money to have more pictures and... |
