For a holiday treat, check out Deck the Halls, which pairs the words of the familiar "yuletide carol" with paintings by Norman Rockwell.
Thumb through this book for a short introduction to Rockwell's art and a perspective on Christmas that is by turns joyful and humorous, nostalgic and poignant.
I love the picture on p. 15 of a little boy trying to look up the chimney. What's your favorite image of Christmas?
