Lovely hardcover keepsake book. I wish there were more recipes, but many of the ones that are included look amazing. There are also a ton of ideas for Christmas crafts, homemade gifts, and decorating inside and out. I look forward to exploring those more next month.

Best of all, I scored an immaculate copy of this at a used charity book sale for fifty cents. What a great find!

One of my favorite Christmas tomes, if for no other reason than the scrumptious gingerbread cookie recipe.
