Christmas is an enduring celebration that unites generations. We share so much of ourselves and our memories during the holiday festivities, and A Keepsake Christmas is designed to help capture that loving nostalgia. This gift book is fashioned for those of us who, especially during the Christmas season, long to weave our relationships into a richly textured fabric of love and community, creating the kind of sanctuary in our homes that expresses the love in our hearts.

In their warm, personal style, Alice and Susan have created a collection holiday stories, poignant quotes, poems, vignettes, and favorite carols dispersed throughout the text that are cozy as candlelight.

Each Christmas it is a tradition that my husband purchase a Christmas book for me and I can honestly say this is the most pleasurable one ever. So many people enjoyed it, that I've had to purchase several more copies for family and friends. There is a little bit of everything to help make next years Christmas even more enjoyable than ever. Thank you Ms. Gray and Ms. Wales for all your hardwork and sharing some very fun and valuable family projects from soup to nuts.

This review is from: A Keepsake Christmas (Hardcover)

Beautifully designed "A Keepsake Christmas" is the perfect choice to take as a hospitality gift, give to a favorite teacher, tuck inside a friend's purse or buy for your own coffee table.

The preface begins with these words, "Twinkling lights drape across the mantel, a cozy fire crackles on the hearth, we turn a page on the calendar--and Christmas is here once more. This is the wondrous season when ordinary moments become extraordinary and when greetings of 'welcome home' moisten our cheeks with joyful tears."

Bursting from every page are wonderful new ideas, easy decorating tips, suggestions for stress-free entertaining, delicious recipes, tender ways to connect with others during the holiday season, and heart-touching true stories. Best of all, there is a golden thread lacing through all the pages that reminds us of the timeless message that Christmas was a birthday before it was a holiday.

Here's just a tiny sampling of the delightful treasures you'll find inside "A Keepsake Christmas": Different Ways to Count the Days, Candle of Hope, Family Advent Celebration, A Christmas Tea, Progressive Mug Party, Eggnog French Toast, Cherished Traditions, Follow the Star, Everyday Gifts of the Heart, Fireside Cappuccino, Simple and Sensational Centerpieces, A Light in the Window, Mini Gingerbread House, Create a Critter Tree, Twenty-five Ways to Simplify, Is There Room in My Heart?

This book was written especially for every woman who longs to create a meaningful and memorable Christmas.
