Christmas Eve in the Mountain State

"KANAWHA celebrate with you?" Make Christmas Eve in the Mountain State your new holiday tradition with playful puns for all 55 counties and dozens of West Virginia cities and towns, big and small. For instance:

Light the Yule LOG-AN BIG CHIMNEY

RALEIGH 'round the tree

PUTNAM presents underneath

And sing a song with me.

"WEIRTON-ight gonna bring you mountain cheer!" Join West Virginians and West Virginia expats home for the holidays. Young mountaineers and recent transplants enjoy opportunities to learn about WV culture while family and friends invite them to be a part of what makes the Mountain State charming, welcoming, and unforgettable. Endearing illustrations depict rural and urban mountain scenes and West Virginian diversity of ages, races, ability, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Enjoy cultural nods such as the red bandanas and "the pepperoni's on a roll." Illustrations include fun touches such as county shapes hidden in the art on the pages where they are mentioned. Packed with Christmas joy and West Virginia pride, you'll want to read it every year. The perfect Christmas present so we can "Share some PLEASANTS!"
