| Summary: | Familiar traditions echo across the years in funny, poignant, and surprising ways: a family welcomes a Swedish traveler to their cozy sod house on the prairie; a schoolgirl is frightened by her role in the spotlight for the annual pagaent; a stranger makes Christmas possible for a family after the father's untimely death in the 1930s; a Civil War drummer boy prepares for a makeshift holiday while on duty with the First Minnesota. These stories and many more, accompanied by vintage recipes, advertisements, photos, and decorations, recreate the excitement and spirit of Minnesota's own Yuletide cheer. |
