May you be wrapped in the magic of Christmas, surrounded by those you love.
Each page of this book was delicately crafted, illustrated, and painted by hand by a single artist located in Kingwood, TX. Learn more about the heirloom books Korie creates in the pages following the recipe section.
Just thinking about Christmas warms my heart. It’s a magical time of year, full of special moments. I created this book as a Christmas keepsake, a place to record treasured memories. In fact, I hope that writing your favorite Christmas moments each year becomes a tradition in and of itself!
Our Christmas Story is a place to celebrate and document this most special time of year, reflecting the traditions, recipes, and memories that are precious to your family. The spiral binding allows you to customize this book; simply remove any pages you may wish to not include. (But what would you possibly remove? It’s CHRISTMAS!) If you do remove pages, however, I recommend that you do so with the careful use of scissors, rather than tearing out pages by hand.
To get the most out of your book, there is a pocket in the back to hold cherished mementos from the season: Nutcracker ticket stubs, letters to Santa, special photographs, and so on.
For quality and consistency, I recommend that you use a black archival ink pen. I use Micron pens.
I would love to see how you make Our Christmas Story your own! Use #OurChristmasStoryBOOK to connect on social media. ABOUT THIS BOOK
