Resources for Holiday Antique Collecting

So resources for collecting. We just talked about a little bit of holiday collecting. There's just no end to collecting holiday depending on the time frame you want to collect and the amount of money you have to spend. So one of things I highly recommend for anyone who is doing any collecting is to go out and buy yourself some resource books. This one we showed you already with the Snow Babies, Snow Santa's and elves. This is a great book. If you want to do snow babies, it has a lot of illustrations on it. And then there's some books like this: Christmas Ornaments, Lights and Decorations. This is a really, this is volume 2. They have volume 1 and 2. This is a really nice book. I have a number of different varieties of books that I like to use. This is Christmas Past. This is a great book by Brenner. It has a lot of illustrations. Here's another book by Brenner, a very expensive book but really a great book to buy, Christmas Through the Decades. That is a great resource. There is a number of small books that you can buy; "The Joy of Collecting Christmas" which just gives you a wide range of ornaments that you can collect. There are small books like this that we will talk about just santa's; talk about just early, early lightings. So there is a wide range of resources out there in books that you can start to look at when your thinking about collecting these holiday items.
