The previous post introduced tree ornament miniature books featuring Santa. This post continues with mini book ornaments about varied Christmas traditions. All books have a cord for hanging on the tree. Many also have a red ribbon bookmark.
Some, like My Christmas Treasury, have a gift tag space on the back:
My first tree ornament book was a gift from a co-worker. It is titled, Christmas Is a Time of Giving. Made in Taiwan, the illustrations remind of the work of artist-writer Joan Walsh Anglund.
Following is a sampling of the many tree ornament books I have.

During the 1980's Current Inc. published a series of miniature booklets about Christmas traditions and songs. They were offered in their gift cataloges. Each annual group of four booklets presented a different Christmas theme. Each booklet has a hole and came with a gilt cord to hang on the tree.
The first group celebrates the Christmas tree, the poinsettia and the yule log:

Another group shared Christmas songs, among them Deck the Halls and Jingle Bells:

How interesting. I have one mini-book ornament that I bought in Germany 30 years ago. It is a tiny song book and one of our favorite tree-treasures.
