Looking at the subject of Christmas through the childhood memories of four generations of the same family, this book begins with two twins preparing for Christmas 1993. They wrap their presents, make cards, open the advent calendar and decorate the tree. The change in emphasis of religious to secular traditions is shown as the book moves back through the generations. A timeline runs through the book and it contains a things-to-do section.
