About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1962. In Memory of a Large Christmas, writer and civil rights crusader Lillian Smith (1897-1966) remembered fondly the Christmases of her youth. They were certainly big: lots of people ate lots of food in a house with lots of room. It's all recalled here, from the preface of Thanksgiving through the hog-killing, gift-buying, theatricals-staging, stocking-hanging and finally, the main event. It's packaged in a small volume with illustrations and even a few recipes. "Smith has recorded some of her southern memories so evokingly that for a while we are convinced she is writing of a childhood we shared with her. And she does it with the light touch of humor. . . . All the family traditions that make each Christmas part of a splendid recurring rhythm are here" (Christian Science Monitor).
