A lyrical and lovely ode to winter and to Christmas, this book invites the reader to watch for signs of the approaching season - and to revel in the cosy rituals that warm a family celebration. Evoking both winter's changes to the world outside and well-loved traditions taking place at home with the family, here is a story to encourage readers to curl up with their loved ones and bask in the magic of the Christmas season. From icicles clinging to roofs and houses strung with colourful lights to visiting Santa and hunting for the perfect tree, this classic-in-the-making celebrates all the holiday's excitement.
