California at Christmas Tide
'California at Christmas Tide' Summary
Ella M. Sexton's "California at Christmas Tide" takes readers on a poetic journey through the Golden State during the holiday season. The poems paint vivid pictures of California's natural beauty, from the snow-covered Sierra Nevada to the sun-kissed beaches of Southern California. The warmth and joy of Christmas are intertwined with the unique characteristics of the California landscape. One poem captures the sight of surfers riding waves on Christmas morning, while another describes the peaceful quiet of a snow-covered mountain village. Sexton's poems celebrate the joy of family and togetherness, the warmth of tradition, and the spirit of giving that characterizes Christmas. They also highlight the unique aspects of California's Christmas traditions, such as the practice of decorating homes with bright lights and festive decorations, and the gathering of families for Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchanges. Through simple, yet powerful language, Sexton invites readers to experience the magic of Christmas in California, a place where the festive spirit blends seamlessly with the beauty of the natural world.Book Details
