At the core of this work are seven poems created by generations of San Francisco school children. In the week leading up to Christmas, these children paired iconic local food and drink with each day, showcasing their affection for the culinary traditions and festive spirit of their city. The author, John Briscoe, recalls his own experiences as one of those children, describing how they crafted playful verses to celebrate each day's food or beverage soulmate. From various neighborhoods, the best of these youthful creations emerged—sophisticated comic verses that evoke a forgotten San Francisco, rich with innocence and unique culinary delights. This book serves as a celebration, a feast that promises to enchant readers. It appeals to those with a love for San Francisco, its food, drink, and history, as well as to those captivated by its legends and whimsy. The title is a nod to Dylan Thomas's "A Child's Christmas in Wales," best enjoyed through his own reading. While this book touches on the city's broader historical significance—from the gold rush to its role in global events—it also captures moments of nostalgia for childhood experiences in San Francisco, offering a glimpse into a time that may never have truly existed.
