A treasure trove of vintage Christmas cards, 100 Christmas Wishes is the perfect holiday treat from the New York Public Library. Every year as the days grow shorter, amidst the holly, cookies, and carols there is another timeless holiday tradition—sending and receiving Christmas cards to and from those you love. 100 Christmas Wishes is a collection of vintage holiday cards, all from the archives of the New York Public Library. The Library houses one of the greatest collections of early Christmas postcards from around the world with thousands of cards depicting every imaginable holiday scene. Archivists selected one hundred of the best cards from the extensive collection to share in 100 Christmas Wishes. From the elegant, gilded Santa Clauses and statuesque angels, to yuletide still lifes, tumbling tots and puppies with bows round their necks, each card is a beautiful celebration of the holiday season. The book also includes six perforated postcards with reproductions of the designs so you too can share a vintage Christmas wish with friends and family on your list. As Rosanne Cash, a patron and friend of the Library as well as a devoted fan of Christmas cards, says in her introduction “This collection of early Christmas postcards, housed for a century in the New York Public Library archives, distills those abiding wishes for the holidays from revelers from long ago and faraway, in a wish for peace, joy, magic, bounty, family, and for light to be shone ‘round the world at Christmas, past and future.’”

Behind every Christmas tradition is a story — usually, a forgotten one. Each year, as we decorate a tree, build a gingerbread house, and get ready for a visit from St. Nicholas, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being largely unaware of their starting chapters. But knowing how these traditions began adds a new level of depth to our Christmas spirit, as well as an arsenal of anecdotes to share at Christmas parties. Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday’s Traditions reveals the surprising, quirky, mysterious, and sometimes horrifying stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. With 26 short chapters, it’s a festive, digestible Advent calendar of a book. Covering traditions ancient and modern, Christmas Past is filled with stories of happy accidents, cultural histories, criminal capers (including tomb raiders and con artists), and hidden connections between Christmas and broader social, economic, and technological influences. How did the invention of plate glass forever change the Christmas season? What common Christmas item helped introduce fine art to the masses? Why do Americans typically spike their eggnog with rum, rather than the traditional brandy? And speaking of booze, does using the phrase “Merry Christmas” mark you as a drunken reveler? Christmas Past answers all of those questions, and many more.

Black hair and band hoodies had a lot to answer for. Eleven years ago, when Gothboy mooched into their business studies class for the very first time, Krissi had taken one look at him and thought, What a freak. He’s so cool! Now in their mid-twenties, Krissi Johansson and Jay Meyer are successful businesspeople and still best friends. But while one is moving forward with their life, the other is sliding ever backwards…revisiting the past and wallowing in regret. Between career commitments, unresolved family matters and friends springing unwelcome surprises, Krissi and Jay have more than enough drama to contend with, and not all of their own making. On top of all that, it’s Christmas. Yay. * * * * * This is a stand-alone novel featuring 'the next generation' of HBTC characters. For those reading the series, this story follows (more or less) chronologically from Reunions (Season Seven).

Jackie Longfellow, a middle-aged grandmother skilled in crafts and especially crochet, is working at her church’s Christmas bazaar. She’s visited by an actor participating in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, who discovers an unfinished ornament among her wares. At home, she discovers the object to be beautifully crafted and puzzles that it is incomplete. Her daughter, Vicky, struggling in her marriage, brings her three daughters from Atlanta to Jackie’s house in New Jersey for Christmas to get away and sort out her life. When two of Vicky’s girls pull one of Jackie’s crocheted ornaments apart, they find a similarity between one that Jackie’s mother helped make as a child and the unfinished ornament. Jackie and Vicky search through Jackie’s family letters for mention of crochet and macramé together and find an obscure reference to an unidentified “him.” Vicki discovers an old letter to Jackie containing a marriage proposal, which leads her to inquire about her parents’ break-up. The craft curiosity starts a search for family names back through Jackie’s grandparents, only to uncover a shredded newspaper clipping and a torn-up telegram death notice from World War I, missing the sailor’s name. Where will the connections from the Christmas ornament lead and will it reveal The Ghost of Christmas Past?
