Growing up, Christmas Eve was never complete without the annual read-aloud of The Night Before Christmas. As I look forward to carrying on the tradition with my own family, I'm so glad to have found this luxurious edition of the classic poem. With a genuine leather cover embossed with gold foil, this oversized (11½"x11") heirloom volume features the original poem, with rich illustrations by renowned illustrator Charles Santore (including a four-page gatefold center spread). For an additional $10, you can even personalize the cover with first and/ or last name (22 characters maximum, including spaces), embossed in gold. What a meaningful family gift, sure to be cherished year after year. (Sorry, no rush shipping or gift wrapping.) (AG)
