Format:Hardcover
The Mary Engelbreit journal helped me record five years worth of Christmas memories, starting with the first Christmas we were married, our baby's first Christmas, and all of the special family gatherings along the way. The journal has beautiful illustrations by Mary that add to the light-hearted nature of the season. There are lots of writing spaces (with lines!) to help keep your journaling organized yet spontaneous and individualized. It also has a section for favorite pictures which I used to keep the pictures that friends have sent in their Christmas cards each year. I would recommend this journal to anyone who loves to keep memories alive through the years of your life and hopefully for many generations to come!

Format:Hardcover
I received this journal as a gift from one of my best friends in 1996 and have written in it every year since. I am now purchasing my second one for years 2001 to 2005. The begining of the book features sections for a master Christmas card list, pictures, and recipes. Every year has its own section for recording additions to the christmas card list, goals for the new season, a holiday planning calendar and lots of room to write about "decking the halls", trimming the tree, tasks to remember, celebrating christmas and thoughts for the following year. Over the years I have recorded the "evolution" of not only my tree which has gone from a puney 6 ft to a grand 9 ft, but also the additions to my Christmas china dinnerware pattern and Christmas CD collection.

I've had my journal for 5 years, and I have enjoyed pulling it out every year after Thanksgiving and (reluctantly) putting it away in January. It is so easy to keep up - great for busy people like me. The layout is simple and yet detailed. The beginning of the book records childhood memories and has space for a mass Christmas card list. Subsequent chapters cover each year up to five. I use the calendar to organize myself and have had a great time looking back on previous years where I recorded activities and special moments I had since forgotten - many very happy, some very sad, moments with people who are no longer here. Even the years when I felt little Christmas cheer, I always opened that book, and there is a comforting constancy to that. A tip from me. . . choose a favorite Christmas card every year that you have received from someone and tuck it in the book at the beginning of the chapter for that year. Another tip. . . buy the book - needless to say, I am online right now to order mine.
