Part of the magic of Christmas
Is memories of Christmases past
Our family and friends
The presents we got
The plays we were in
The foods we ate
All the festive things
That filled our childhoods
Christmas is a time for nostalgia
And that is exactly what
Cat Family Christmas
Delivers in spades
The magic of festive seasons past
This may be a story of a cat family
But it could easily be my family
Or yours
This is a tale of the cosy season
The preparations we all make
As we countdown to Christmas
Cat Family Christmas
Is a charming
Lift-the-flap
Advent book
It has been a huge hit
Here already
As it as over
140 flaps
With its vintage styling
Detailed illustrations
And tiny flaps
This is one to look at
Together with littlest readers
And for slightly older readers
To pore over alone
Again and again and again
If Edie is anything to go by
This is a brilliant and beautiful book
Counting down from
12th to 24th December
In a glorious feast
Of liberty style prints and patterns
Steam trains
Snowy streets
Allotments
Greenhouses
Stables
Shops
Market stalls
Fireside stories
Real christmas trees
Cosy kitchens
And all the trimmings
Readers of a certain age
Associate with
The most wonderful time
Of the year
This book is EVERYTHING
There is so much to talk about
On every page
So many activity ideas

And look forward to reading
Each and every Christmas future
To remind us of the magic
Of Christmas past
And ensure we make the most
Of every moment
Of Christmas present
“We fish you a meowy Christmas
And a tabby new year”
