Connecticut Christmas

By Diane Smith and Smith Diane

A holiday celebration of the Nutmeg state
by an Emmy award-winning journalist

A Connecticut Christmas is a full-color celebration of the spirit of Christmas in a quintessentially New England state. Author and Positively Connecticut television journalist Diane Smith highlights the many joyful things to see and do during the holidays, and she profiles some of the remarkable people who make the holiday season brighter for visitors and Connecticut residents alike.

Through a compelling blend of inspiring, funny, and heart-warming essays and stunning color photographs, the book presents the state's traditional and lesser-known holiday scenes and activities--everything from snow games, classic Colonial houses in snow, spectacular light displays, artisan craft shows, holiday home tours, and colorful theater productions to charity festivals and individual expressions of goodwill. Underlying all is the message common to Diane Smith's books: caring, positive people make a difference. The book also includes a where-to appendix and a choice selection of delectable holiday recipes.
