Editorial Review:

Product Description:

Feel the warmth and delight of Christmas past in this lushly illustrated book capturing the nostalgia, charm, and sparkling beauty of vintage holiday decorations.

Ralph and David focus their wit and camera lens on the charming vintage decorations that have made Christmas so memorable over the years. This enchanting collection captures the wonder and beauty and will rekindle the child–like wonder that Christmas has inspired over the years.

Things that will be included:

•Celluloid light–up Santa's, snowmen, music–box churches, angel tree–toppers (with foil wings and glowing halos!).

•Five–and–dime nativity sets (from tiny plastic ones to the "fancier" models!).

•Odd ceramic figurines. These used to be found lurking around in homemade snowdrifts atop TV sets and on martini carts all across the country.

•Putz houses the little glittery paper villages that sprung up from the 30's to the 60's

•Pinecone people elves, pixies, angels, snowmen, Santa's.

- I love it. that's it. like the book. very simple
If you like flickr.....and vintage elves and snowmen and angels.....for the used price of $.73 it's a steal.....if you are looking for some great book on vintage Christmas, it's not for you. it's simple and fun and the photos are a joy to look thru..

Have yourself a modernist little Christmas seems to be the message from this book. The one hundred and twenty-eight (unnumbered) pages reveal a whole lot of close-ups of individual figurines, bottle-brush trees and a few whole page bits of packaging of, for example, hanging mistletoe, tree lights and tree decorations.

The contents are from the authors personal collection but judging from what is on display in the photos they must have a rather small collection. The book's title suggests, ... Read More

- Just a small sampling of items pictured.
The pictures are beautifully done, but most all of them have only one collectible in each picture. The front cover led me to believe the book would contain photos of Christmas villages or settings, not individual santas or angels. I walked away from the book feeling like it was just a small sampling, not enough to do a whole book on.

- A little gem of book
Ralph Del Pozzo and David High take readers back to Christmas past in their book, CHRISTMASLAND. The book contains a charming display of vintage Christmas figurine decorations that probably date back to the 1940s to 1960s as well as commentary from the authors. Del Pozzo and High share little tidbits of popular Christmas history that reference origins of the most familiar figures and traditions that occur during holiday -- Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Frosty the snowman, the artificial Christmas tree, ...
