The Twelve Days of Christmas, Up on the Housetop, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and We Wish You a Piggie Christmas are all included in this magnificently illustrated picture book. The illustrations are enormous and exceedingly colorful filling the pages with a tremendous amount of activity. A superb holiday book.
