Unwrap the deluxe, expanded, and republished edition of one of the most heartwarming Christmas stories of our time. Each year a New York family looks forward to the day in early December when the Woodcutter arrives with his Christmas trees on the sidewalk below their apartment...until he doesn't show up..and the touching backstory behind this holiday fable.

Featuring elegant black-and-white photographs by an award-winning photographer, The Woodcutter's Christmas takes readers on a reflective journey, blending the serene beauty of Vermont winters with the bustling streets of Manhattan. Seen through the eyes of a man who nurtures Christmas trees, this story explores the contrast between nature's slow, steady rhythms and the fleeting, disposable culture of modern society. When the Woodcutter sees the trees he lovingly raised discarded on city curbs after the holiday season, his perspective shifts. After a chance meeting in Manhattan with a kindred spirit, the lessons, spirit, and meaning of Christmas is beautifully reinforced in Kessler's lovely text.
