Martin & Sylvia's Twelve Days of Christmas!
All the presents have been opened and Christmas breakfast is complete. Martin and Sylvia sigh — is all of the fun over?
But look! There's one more present hiding in the Christmas tree! It's a gift that can be enjoyed for twelve full days: an old vinyl record called "Twelve Tales of a Tullyport Christmas." Daddy pulls out his childhood record player, and the fun begins.
The twelve stories follow the Tully family — along with other founding members of Tullyport, colonial town on the Coast of Maine — as they create traditions and celebrations that are unique, delightful and rich with community connection. These stories inspire Martin and Sylvia’s family as well as the neighbors and friends they invite – to create a wonderful Christmastide festival together.
