Old Christmas by Washington Irving, a beautifully illustrated collection of five nostalgic Christmas stories presented in the Arcturus Ornate Classics hardcover edition.
Long before Christmas cards, electric lights, and shopping lists, Washington Irving was writing about the traditions that made Christmas special.
First published in 1819–1820, these five stories take us into an English country house, where guests gather for holiday celebrations, family meals, music, and old-fashioned Christmas customs. Irving had a wonderful eye for the little details that make a gathering memorable.
I selected this edition for StoryGiftStudio™ because it preserves both Irving's stories and the original illustrations by Randolph Caldecott. The gold-embossed cover, gilded page edges, and compact size make it a lovely little book to bring out each December or give to someone who treasures Christmas traditions.

A STORYGIFTSTUDIO LITERARY GIFT
After more than 25 years of teaching literature, I created StoryGiftStudio™ to share the timeless books I've loved and taught.
I personally select each edition for my bookstore and hand wrap it in coordinating paper, finished with a satin belly band and handmade wax seal. A little extra care to make every book feel like a gift.

FAQs
WHAT IS A GICLEÉ PRINT?
Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term "giclee"(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word "giclee," as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers. Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT ABOUT THE PRINT QUALITY?
A great gicleé print begins with a great image. We proudly use a privately owned giclee printing company founded in 2003 that services the fine art and photography markets. They have gained international recognition with featured articles about their services in Digital Ouput Magazine, Digital Photo Pro Magazine and on the Oprah show. Osio-Brown Editions is one of the original giclee printing studios in the Chicago area and is a preeminent force in the fine art giclee printing industry. Their client list extends throughout the United States, Central & South America and Europe.
WHAT ABOUT FRAMING?
The prints are standard sizes allowing them to be framed easily with stock size frames found in most stores. Custom framing is always a beautiful option but not necessary.
