A journey through the Christmases of yesteryear, with artwork, photos, magazine content, and others treasures of decades past. We all have memories of long-ago Christmases locked away in our hearts. This book explores—with vibrant period art, surprising facts, and excerpts from letters, diaries, and magazines through the decades—what the holiday was like from the 1920s through the 1960s. In Christmas Memories, Susan Waggoner, author of It’s a Wonderful Christmas and Under the Tree, looks at bygone holidays from the perspective of those who lived them. Beginning with “Christmas in the Melting Pot,” which depicts yuletide in the early 1920s, she presents detailed snapshots that re-create seasons past. She chronicles the gifts, activities, fads, and fancies that made each Christmas unique; indulges in fantasy shopping at yesterday’s prices; shares thoughts from letters, diaries, and magazines of the era; and makes the past come to life with vibrant period art that lets you revel in the irresistible nostalgia of Christmas memories.

Ten-year-old Goose is lost. It's Christmas, his parents are dead, he's turned to petty thievery to support his increasingly addled Nan, and now his dog Mutt has gone missing. As Goose searches the streets of Manchester on Christmas Eve for any sign of his dog, he encounters a strange man named Anthony, who seems to know an awful lot about everyone he meets but almost nothing at all about himself. Anthony's special skill is to help people who have lost something-and everyone's lost something, according to Anthony. As they roam the streets together, they meet a wide variety of people, all of whom are searching desperately for something missing from their lives. As the mysterious Anthony proves again and again to have the power to reunite the seekers with the sought-after, Goose begins to wonder if Anthony may be able to help him find one of the precious things he's lost.
