A fun collection of everything that makes Christmas great! Cute illustrations, tasty recipes, entertaining short stories, and interesting trivia sections on every page! Even if you think you don't need another Christmas book, get this one!

This is a large volume, about the size of a text book, with over 230 pages of sturdy, high-quality, non-gloss pages filled with gorgeous imagery and heartwarming content. The blend of vintage pictures with clean modern layout design is seamless and easy on the eyes. It opens with scriptures detailing the prophecy and birth of Christ from both the Bible and Book of Mormon. Well-known stories such as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and The Elves and the Shoemaker are shared, but a wealth of lesser known classics are what drew my interest, especially The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson. Rounded out with fun songs, recipes, and fascinating tidbits that my girls will love, we will be savoring this book for several years! It is a wonderful idea for a gift :)

This book is fantastic! Once it came, I was excited to dive right into it. First of all, I love the cover! It definitely gets me in the Christmas mood.
This is a high-quality book. The paper is multiple colors and thick so the pages are nice to turn. There's lots of cool, vintage artwork throughout. It starts with "The Birth of Christ," using scriptures from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon to tell the story. Some of the stories and poems that are shared are classics, like "The Night Before Christmas," "The Gift of the Magi," and "The Mansion." There are many more stories and poems that are new to me and it will take a while to read through them all.
The history and trivia pages are also fun to read, especially Christmas on Temple Square and the most popular Christmas toys through the years, some of which are still popular today. There are recipes throughout which look easy to make and yummy! This book isn't set up in sections. Instead, the stories, carols, recipes, quotes, trivia and history are mixed together throughout the book.
This is the type of book that displays well and will make a great Christmas gift. We will enjoy it for many years to come!
I received a copy of this book to review. My opinion is 100% my own.

This is a wonderful book, perfect for the holidays. This hard cover book is a collection of favorite and memorable stories, poems, Christmas carols, interesting facts, history, recipes, and scriptures. I loved the way the pictures are so nostalgic and colorful.
The book begins with a scriptural account of Christ's birth, taken from both the Book of Mormon and the Bible. The layout is very pleasing, with the different elements mixed together--a poem, a carol, a few recipes, a couple of stories, a quote, etc. This book has everything you need to really think about and celebrate Christmas, all in one place! I loved reading about the most popular Christmas toys through the years, as well as re-reading old favorite stories, such as The Gift of the Magi. The classic poem The Night Before Christmas is included, as is a fun recipe for reindeer food. I loved the group game ideas and the list of favorite family Christmas movies. The lyrics to It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, with a little history behind the song, was fun to read. This is one going into our Christmas book box to be re-read each and every Christmas.

MY REVIEW:
DO YOU NEED A LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT? THIS BOOK WILL WOW ANY CHRISTIAN FAMILY! IF I HAD NOT ALREADY BOUGHT MY CHILDREN'S AND CLOSE FRIENDS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVEN THIS BOOK TO EACH OF THEM!
This is an outstandingly attractive, hard covered, oversize book, packed with nostalgic, past and present stories by various authors. There is trivia, recipes, beautiful, colorful illustrations, every scripture written about the birth of Jesus, Christmas song lyrics and information, games to play and much more!
With the stories and information inside, it will entertain friends and family for years to come. What a cherished compilation to enhance any Library shelf!

This book has helped me feel the Christmas spirit with classic stories, songs, poems, and beautiful illustrations. A lot of these I was very familiar with, but I read a few new ones also, and that was nice. It wouldn’t be Christmas without these reminders of what we love about this season of the year. My heart likes to be touched by the funny, tender, warm, and sacred writings about Christmas. I am reminded of the goodness of people and the Reason we celebrate.

I received this as a gift at a book exchange Christmas party. It is a "cute" Christmas collection with a vintage theme. It provides a potpourri of stories, music, poetry and trivia. Appealing to young families, this could be a good anthology for young children and those desiring nostalgia in the art and recipes.

This is a fine book for getting ready for Christmas, but I didn't finish in time, so I guess I will finish it next December.

I loved the illustrations in this book. I love vintage Christmas scenes. I also loved the brief history of many of our Christmas songs and I liked the original stories.
