When Angel, Mr. Macaroni, Silver Bell, Skier, Special Delivery, Santa, and Camel find themselves stuck in the attic one year, they realize something is wrong. Lily always hangs them on the tree for her grandchildren, but now her house seems empty. The ornaments try to cobble together the things they already possess so they can have their own Christmas. But it's not until they hear footsteps that they know Christmas has finally arrived. It's Jack, Lily's son, coming to find them for his kids and to continue the tradition his mother put into place so many years before. The popular family tradition of collecting treasured Christmas ornaments is celebrated as never before in a heartwarming story with jewel-like illustrations.
What a wonderful way to remember Grandmom! My daughter checked this book out of the library last winter shortly after my Mom passed away. I did not know what it was about until I started reading it to her. Offcourse I started to cry while reading it. This Christmas I will be purchasing this book to read to my children and I will be giving each of my sisters a copy to read to their children. My Mom loved Christmas and we want to pass her love of Christmas on to our children.

The Attic Christmas is a wonderful story to share with the family this Christmas. Told from the perspective of the Christmas ornaments, this story illustrates some the values that surround Christmas and highlights the importance of family and memories even after some family members have moved on. This is a great book to read aloud for those dealing with the loss of a family member.
