I love this book. It has something for everybody. Even people who don't think of themselves as crafty will enjoy this book. And there are so many fun things in it that I have found something that I didn't notice before everytime I look through the book. And it has different skill levels too. There are projects you can do with the kids, or if you are ambitious, there are detailed christmas villages you can make. Even the recipes for holiday cooking are fun and easy. If you want a good all inclusive book for the holidays this is the one. Another book I would recommend for the holidays is "Old-Fashioned Christmas Favorites". It has great traditions and recipes that are old time favorites that may have been forgotten.

This is one of the best Christmas books I have ever found. There is a second one called Traditional Christmas Two that is also very good. They have everything from decoration crafts and ideas to gifts that you can make to recipies for those holiday meals and intertaining. I had both books and lost them in a move and did not rest until I managed to replace them. They are great!

Beautiful photographs. Instructions are easy to follow and supplemented with photographs. I was disappointed that the recipes emphasize use of the microwave oven. (We have opted not to have a microwave oven). They don't give parallel instructions for conventional ovens. Otherwise a great book. Everything from traditional to creative new crafts. I'm glad I bought it.

This book contains great ideas for christmas decorating, gifts, and cooking. Most of the projects are very easy to do and use things that you already have around the house, or from recycled material. This is a great book
