The decorations and special objects that are unique to one’s family are a key part of holiday traditions. They come to symbolize the magic and heritage of each family and the meaning of the season.

Vaillancourt Folk Art is a family-owned business producing heirloom-quality holiday collectibles—handmade works of art that celebrate holiday traditions. I spoke to owner Gary Vaillancourt about his company’s 35th anniversary and his new book, “It’s Hard to Tell When a Tradition Begins: A Vaillancourt Christmas.”
