A Century of Muppet Christmas Memories!

Christmas 2019 may be a memory, but you can still look back at Christmases long long ago with "A Century of Christmas Memories: 1900-1999."

Originally published in 2009, "A Century of Christmas Memories: 1900-1999"  features an image of John Denver and The Muppets: A Christmas Together on the cover. The special isn't the only Muppet related mention in the book however. 




The official description:
Make a cup of tea, curl up by the fire, and take a nostalgic journey to Christmases past with this merry little Keepsake book! A Century of Christmas Memories celebrates 100 years of seasonal firsts and favorites decade by decade, from the 1900s through the 1990s, including movies, songs, events, traditions, toys, and games.

Includes summaries of each decade and listings of firsts and favorites year by year. Packed with historic photographs and illustrations, many rarely seen, including magazine covers, Christmas cards, news photos, movie and TV scenes, and more.



Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, The Christmas Toy, and The Muppet Christmas Carol all get shoutouts, along with Tickle Me Elmo, the first live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature film (brought to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop) and Trading Spaces (which features Frank OZ and Richard Hunt). 

A Muppet Family Christmas and Christmas Eve on Sesame Street are surprisingly absent. 

"A Century of Christmas Memories, 1900-1999" is available at Barnes and Noble and through Amazon
