This beautiful book of essays, illustrated by Mississippi's premier watercolorist Wyatt Waters, will ring true with treasured recollections of Christmases past. Remember the Christmas it snowed on the Mississippi Coast? Glen Allison recalls that miracle. Richard Ford and Waters tell exactly what they felt when they first laid eyes on a bicycle left under the tree by Santa Claus. These Mississippians celebrate Christmas pageants, the decorating, the family dinners--even as they recognize war and loss as part of our lives and sometimes part of our holidays. Christmas Memories from Mississippi looks at the holidays from the early 20th century through the present and offers the celebrations from various points of view, both religious and secular. This book makes an ideal memento of shared traditions and lovingly extends the spirit of the season across the state's diversity.

Advance Praise for MEMORIES OF MISSISSIPPI “A must-read... Wanda Jackson’s compelling account is more than a description of life in the South. It is a window into an era where there is love, trust, and strong family values. People took time to enjoy, even in the midst of hard times and adversity, the simple and pure things of life. Reading Jackson’s well-written book provided me the opportunity to go back in time and relive those years. It was a wonderful journey. This is a great book for parents to read with their children, using it to instill values and pride, and to enlighten them about their heritage. And with that enlightenment, I believe that the reader will realize that no matter what their circumstances, opportunities for success are unlimited.” Madeline P. Floyd, Administrator for Amite County School District (Ret.) “Memories of Mississippi takes the reader on a vicarious journey through the past while he or she enjoys the southern color and scenery depicted in Jackson’s book. In contrast, a certain amount of sorrow and anger may be felt, but a sense of reality comes into focus. ‘This focus brings all of the characters and still life paintings with characters and vivid details to life again,’ writes Jackson when referring to her experiences growing up in the South. Her expressions are made clearer as she skillfully inserts memorable snapshots to give the reader a vision of what takes place at a precise moment. Although these were the author’s daily experiences, they belong to every person who grew up poor in the South.” Christine T. Spears, Professor of English/ English Department Chair for Amite County Schools (Ret.) “This is a piece of history that jumps out at you. Wanda Jackson’s descriptions of growing up on a farm brings back vivid memories of my own childhood, and I felt as though I had gone back in time. The author truly captures the experience of growing up in the South as a black child, told with humor and compassion. This is an excellent book for students to read and discuss, especially during Black History Month.” Dr. Estes Taplin, Superintendent, City of Baker, LA School System

"In the town where I was born and raised, everyone drove a few miles south to cut a tree. In that dry, windy country few of the cedars grew straight and full, so the major problem was to find the one least lopsided and wind-whipped." Thus A. C. Greene, in "The Too-Big Christmas Tree," tells of a Christmas in the 1920s when his father cut a too-big tree and almost broke up the family. Long out-of-print and a collector's item, this story is now coupled with "Christmas Shopping," in which a small boy sets out with his grandmother on his first shopping trip to buy Christmas presents for the family. "My grandmother and I boarded the little four-wheel trolley on the Fair Park loop--the men who were waiting all tipping their hats and letting the women and children on first. Pretty soon we were bumping and swaying up Sayles Hill on our way to downtown."
