description: A festive read-aloud brimming with all the joy and excitement of Christmastime -- beginning of course with picking out a tree! Part of the magic of the Christmas season stems from the traditions that families and friends take part in every year: hanging up stockings; putting lights in the windows; and one of the most important of all picking out and taking home the Christmas tree. With style and warmth debut author Patricia Toht and Jarvis the author-illustrator of Alan's Big Scary Teeth evoke all the rituals of decorating the tree -- digging out boxes jam-packed with ornaments and tree trimmings stringing tinsel and at long last turning on those twinkling lights. Joyously drawn and rhythmically written this celebration of family friends and the holiday season is as merry as the tradition it depicts.
