5.0 out of 5 stars One of Their Best Yet!, July 24, 2003

This review is from: Christmas with Southern Living (Hardcover)

I have the past 10 years of these Christmas with SL books. This is one of the best! The decorative ideas are new and fresh and abundant. The recipes, as always, look wonderful. I have only tried the Cranberry Brie so far but it was excellent (also great over cream cheese instead of brie). I can't say enough good things about this one...and there are tons of pictures! Also, there projects are simple and elegant not "crafty".

This review is from: Christmas with Southern Living (Hardcover)

Okay, probably the best way to describe these Christmas books is once you buy one, you'll want them ALL! I first purchased the 2001 edition and used the planned menu for my baby's baptism party. That had to be some of the most delicious food I'd ever prepared and the compliments! I passed out that cranberry appetizer to a zillion people, I think! This year's is no different. I love all the new decorating ideas that are quite simple, but the recipes are just out of this world. If you entertain large during the holidays, this book goes out of its way to help you plan the perfect party. It even includes a calender and tells you what to do in the days preceeding your event. It's definitely a book you'll get hooked on - especially after you try the delectable recipes. You'll want more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeliness Treats and Decorations for Christmas, September 27, 2005

Even though it's now a couple of years old, the ideas in this book are truly timeless. The Toasted Coconut Nog is going to taste as sweet now as they did in 2003. And Turkey Hash is going to just as good a leftover this year as it was then. And their Triple Chocolate Clusters -- well what can I say.

These are magnificant books. Not only do they give you some very good ideas about how to entertain for the holidays, but they also have several decorating ideas. This year it seems that the decorations are more home made than before, so there is really no reason not to have them.

If you have one of these books, you want them all, here's 2003
