This book focuses only on Christmas, with projects such as candy canes, Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands, icicles and ornaments. It does put a nice spin on wire wrapping, extending it away from personal decoration and toward home decorations. I would have given it 3½ stars if I could because of the very different approach it takes.

The book offers the same convenience found in Sinclair's Moods in Wire : An Extended Guide to the Fine Art of Wirewrapping (2nd Ed) but with less variety and mostly simpler projects.

This book is not for everyone. It offers little eye candy. Color photos are limited to the front cover and section headings. Projects use line art to illustrate (helpful but not lovely). Don't get this as a primary wire wrapping resource.

I was disappointed in this book. It almost reads like an advertisement for a wire twister and the projects do not reach the quality level one would expect of this author. Any wire wrapper with a bit of experience could easily think up any of these projects on his own and complete them without this book. If you want to make Christmas things, you can do it, using your own imagination and a bit of colored wire! I'm sorry I invested in this book.
