Ben Logan won the hearts of readers the world over with his 1975 memoir, The Land Remembers. He returns to the farmland of his youth in Christmas Remembered, a loving tribute to holiday rituals and the people who make them happen: people like his mother, who was married on Christmas Day, and people like his wife, who brought her own traditions from the mountains of Mexico. “Rituals do not persist simply because they may possess a magical power from outside us,” Logan tells us. “They live because they touch something inside us that is wanting and waiting to come out and express itself.” With a new foreword by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, Christmas Remembered will make you laugh and cry—and grow nostalgic for your own holiday seasons past.

This unique, keepsake journal will inspire your family to write down what Christmas means to them, celebrate togetherness, recount holiday travels, and highlight the importance of Christ s birth."

This title continues the Christmas Remembered series with inspirational cross stitch patterns that will be instant heirlooms. Framed pieces are included as well as pillow tops, bell pulls and stockings in this colorfully printed hardcover volume.

A Christmas To Remember celebrates life and the human spirit. The location and its lively menagerie of characters were inspired and created from some of my childhood experiences and family stories told to me by my father and grandparents about "the good old days," when the world was kinder... when girls wore dresses and boys donned hats... when times were unsettling yet delightful. My father Daniel J. Harty was born in Barre, Massachusetts on February 26, 1929 an outdoor enthusiast who enjoyed fishing and trapping and was passionate about saving our environment. During one of my visits in 1999 we drove and meandered around his memory lanes of Barre. He stated, "Nothing has changed much from my childhood memories; with the exception of paved roads." Rosie's determined spirit, unwavering faith, incredible endurance and courage brings family, friends, and community together in circle with the sole intention and purpose to co-create and help the Achtmeyers in any way they are able.
