Diane's Christmas Library includes some of her Tasha Tudor favorites, A Time To Keep, The Night Before Christmas, The Dolls' Christmas, Tasha Tudor's Advent Calendar, Around the Year, and Take Joy!. In back are the Tasha Tudor Advent Calendar "Oh Holy Night" and book A Book of Christmas. Also on the table are two Tasha Tudor Christmas Cards "Fir Tree" and "The Animals' Christmas".

 

On the shelf are books by Louisa May Alcott, including Jo's Boys, Life, Letters and Journals, Little Women, and Old-Fashioned Girl. Some of the others are The Lamplighter, Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates, Dickens' Works: Christmas Stories, Under the Holly, Christmas Stories, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and Elsie's Holidays. Inside Holmes' Christmas Stories is inscribed "L. E. Wilder ".

The cozy cottage and landscape in Tasha Tudor's card "Homecoming" reminds the Johnsons of their own Corgyncombe Cottage. It feels just like home!

Corgyncombe Cottage... also reminiscent of a Currier & Ives
