This book had a couple decent ideas for Christmas decorations, but don't be fooled by the "origami" in the title. There were only a few standard origami models that you can find elsewhere just as easily (such as the Crane). Most of the rest of the models in the book were cut and paste types with a couple of folds. Over all, I was very disappointed with this book.

I was a little disappointed with this book. There weren't any new folds--just diagrams for the classic crane, waterbomb, etc. There are some good ideas for putting the various models together to make wreaths, christmas trees, and dioramas, as well as a nativity scene; but if you have a few basic origami books you won't need any of the folds in this one.

The very best set of "how-to" instructions for origami folds ever put out with a holiday twist. Each illustration is clear, clean, and easy to understand. Each fold is thoroughly illustrated. You come away with a deeper understanding of overall origami design concepts, too. Plus - the color photos are great inspiration for your own decorating ideas. This book will unlock those other origami books that have great designs, but miss the mark on instruction and/or illustration. Own this book. Give this book.

This book is awesome!!! This book has flowers, nativity scenes, Santa and his reindeer. With clear, easy to follow diagrams, this book makes the grade. This book will challenge beginners and has terrific plans for the more experienced folder.

Origami for Christmas contains thirty-four origami creations that are presented with illustrations and easy step-by-step instructions. This book contains a nativity scene, Christmas wreaths, Santa Claus and his reindeer, greeting cards, tree decorations, flowers, baskets, and kirigami projects. There are enough projects to keep you busy for the whole year.
