Synopsis
Some of the subjects celebrated in At Christmas Blessing are: the giving and receiving of gifts, carols and carolers, tree and house decoration, bells and candles, family and friends, children's hopes and joys, winter, feasting and laughter. This blessing is illustrated from unusual sources -- old postcards and calendars, book and magazine illustrations, and out-of-the-way paintings.

About the Author
WELLERAN POLTARNEES has a lifelong love of gardens. His first memory is falling out of his baby carriage and landing on a bed of odorous white flowers which not only kept him from injury, but made the experience a sensual delight. He collects books about, and pictures of, gardens -- but there are few timeless things that he does not so honor. He uses a book called Great Gardens of the World as a guide whenever he travels, and, with the exception of the Boboli Gardens in Florence, which came highly recommended and which he found monotonous -- the gardens have always refreshed him. His favorite time for gardens is night. His favorite garden music is Manuel De Falla's ""Nights in the Gardens of Spain"", and his favorite garden poem is ""The Garden"" by Andrew Marvell.

May this blessing fall on you like a gentle snow. Let your Christmas be savored far in advance of its arrival. May the spirit of the season make your quest for gifts selfless and filled with joy. Adornment, reflecting old traditions, shall make your home bright with the loveliness of Christmastide. May winter, in some way, grace your holidays. Let there be a tree, bringing into your home the fragrance and power of the earth. May song bless your Christmas, and remind us all of the universal harmony which is at the center of creation.
