Description: From new year's day until Christmas, our year is filled with special observances and holiday celebrations.  Many of the customs we hold dear were given to us by our forefathers, who brought the folklore of their native lands with them to America.  Over the years, we have enriched our festivities by adapting their diverse traditions and making them uniquely our own.  Just as our cherished celebrations tie us to those who came before us, the wonderful cross stitch designs in holidays remembered also gives us a glimpse into their time.  These decorations--many of which were adapted from antique postcards and scraps--are destined to become tomorrow's heirlooms, to be brought out with other precious keepsakes year after year.  May you be inspired to create your own holiday collections of fine cross stitch decorations, and may every celebration you enjoy this year truly become a holiday to remember!
