Tasha Tudor’s charming and warm-hearted illustrations of over 100 books, plus her nostalgic advent calendars and Christmas cards, earned her devoted fans around the world. But her way of life fascinated people as much as her illustrations. Even though she lived to 2008, she lived with conscious intention as if it were 1830. Her life was rooted in simplicity, creativity, and taking it slow. In this year’s Christmas Special, we read from her Christmas classic, Take Joy! – joining her family in a nostalgic month-long celebration of her favorite time of year.
Visit the official Tasha Tudor website, find all the Tudor family recipes, and find all things Christmas in their Christmas Shop, and year-round delights in the Tasha Tudor shop. And consider joining the Tasha Tudor Society to surround yourself with magical joy all year round!
The two Tasha Tudor documentaries are Take Joy! and Take Peace! and are available for digital rental online.
