Just six spreads illustrate the first verse and chorus of the classic Christmas song. Black silhouettes against clean white backgrounds portray Victorian-era villagers delivering an enormous Christmas tree by sleigh. Touches of gold, green, and red on the thick die-cut pages complete the elegant look. The final spread opens into a delicate pop-up. Handsome, but light on content.
