Christmas in Connecticut is a Colonial house with candles in the windows and evergreen swags 'round the door. It's a sleigh ride in snow, white churches, snowy town greens, and homes aglow with festive lights. It's the pageantry of The Nutcracker ballet, the magic of candlelight walks, and the excitement of seeing Santa on parade. Christmas in Connecticut is all this and more. Celebrate the spirit of Christmas with Positively Connecticut television journalist Diane Smith, who takes you on an unforgettable tour of the holiday season in this quintessentially New England state.

Visit Connecticut with Diane Smith and experience a holiday you'll never forget. (8 3/4 x 11, 160 pages, color photos)
