This is a great book if you are looking for some holiday ideas. Buy it or check it out of the library early (right after Thanksgiving, if not before) because you'll want some time to plan some of these projects.

Martha Stewart is always full of great ideas and this book has one great idea after another. This has decorating, gifts, food, just about everything. Some are more practical than others and many can be simplified so you can do them with your children. Each year my son and I make a wreath for our front door using Marthas book as our inspiration.

We also make a simple Christmas ornament each year for each one of our children's classmates. This is time consuming, so be careful which one you choose, because once you have a couple of kids you could be in for a really long project. Since we are up to almost 80 classmates at this point, we have set up an assembly line with each of the kids doing a step and the oldest doing more if needed.

If you can find it, Martha Stewart Holiday Cookies, a magazine I bought Christmas 2005 is a great resource for Christmas Cookies. I wish that she would put this out as a book since my copy is already worn after just one Christmas. I have resorted to color copies of the recipes we liked best just to make sure it lasts.

Great Book, Being seasonal it is filled with ideas for the holidays, Thanks! Lovely photos, very easy to read instructions for recipes and crafts!

This book is a great companion to the two previous Christmas / Holiday Books from Martha Stewart Living. With signature style and grace, she presents us with beautiful crafts to make to decorate our homes and give as gifts. Martha has definately done it again!!!
