What a marvelous company you've created! Now that my daughter has married and moved, I am able to send her a "bit of home" through Gooseberry Patch.

It is so rare these days to have "customer service" mean just that...people who care about the person on the phone. Thank you for the great company you are.

I absolutely love the Gooseberry Patch cookbooks! My favorites are the Christmas and Harvest books, I have hmmm...probably all of them. These books in general just make me feel so cozy and comfortable...actually they remind me of my Holly Hobbie days growing up!
My favorite weekend activity starting in September or so, is to wake up early, put on my robe, get my coffee, throw on a Christmas CD (Michael Buble, Let it Snow is my fav!) and browse through my Gooseberry Patch Christmas Books.
Not only are these books comforting, but the recipes are absolutely delicious! I especially love the soup/slowcooker recipes in these books. There is a broccoli cheese soup recipe and a potato soup recipe that are just to die for!
Anyway, for me these books are so nostalgic and homey, with delicious food, excellent reader's stories, and honestly useful kitchen tips...all rolled into one.
This book in particular is my favorite Christmas Gooseberry Patch, the recipes are so good, the stories are heartwarming, and this cover is my favorite! If you haven't tried the Gooseberry books yet, I highly recommend them. They also have a catalog which you can order from, I have bought the best Christmas gifts and decorations from the catalog! You can also purchase the cookbooks from the catalog/website as well. Thanks Vicky and Jo Ann! :)

This whole series is wonderful. I have many Gooseberry Patch books and love them all. This one is no exception! I love the recipes and festive ideas and tips for the Christmas holidays. This book and the others are fun just to slowly read. It's easy to get into a holiday mood with this book. It looks good as a decoration in the kitchen too:) You'll love it!
