A Vintage Christmas Book Giveaway
This contest has ended.
Vintage Christmas items are treasures to me. I actively seek and collect anything from ornaments to Christmas cards to...well...everything vintage Christmas. The attic may cave at anytime during the year waiting for the holiday season to arrive when my hands and eyes feast on the joy of unpacking the boxes.
"The Family Christmas Book" is a beautiful 25 year old Christmas album, revised edition copyright 1982 Nancy Taylor, published by Traditions Press. I want one of you to have it.
The book contains two-page spreads to record each family Christmas so that when completed, you have a twenty-five year record of family Christmases. There is space to record where the family gathered, paste a photo, those who joined in the cheer, special events of the Season, memories of the past year and your annual Christmas card. The book is in like new condition.
Click photos for enlarged view.
To be entered for an chance to win the vintage Family Christmas Book, simply leave a comment on this post by midnight EST Friday, December 21. A winner will be chosen from comments using random.org. Please, only one comment per person...duplicates will be deleted. You do not have to be a blogger to enter, but I must have an email address to contact you should you win. The winner will be announced Saturday, December 22.
Merry Christmas!

I have never before seen anything like that, but how wonderful! It would be beautiful to sit back and look over all the Christmases past in the years to come, once the kids are grown and gone.

What a beautiful idea for a record book. Even if I don't win I may have to try for something similar. I think it would be fun to record things and then look back every year when the Christmas things come out of storage. Please sign me up. : )

This is a great book! I have it for my daughter. She is almost 18 now. I bought it for her when we adopted her. I am now looking for another copy as my brother and sister in law just adopted a new baby girl. I love the tradition of keeping the yearly Christmas card and photos. My daughter loves to look back each year.
btw, I love your blog!
Merry Christmas...
