Publisher's Synopsis
For the last five years the book "Chicago Christmas: One hundred years of Christmas Memories" has connected many Chicagoans, natives and transplants, with memories of the faces and places of their youth. In that time author Jim Benes has personally connected with his readers through book signings large and small. The question that has often come up is: Why isn't the year I was born in the book? What happened that year? With his new book , Jim brings not just the answers to these questions, but the opportunity to belong to the Season in new and meaningful ways. Jim offers both a window into the past and a doorway into the ongoing tradition that is the Chicago Holiday experience.
