Filled with stunning photographs of countless ideas, this volume seems to cover all aspects of decorating for the big day: choosing and trimming the tree, making wreaths and garlands, designing lighting effects, adorning the mantelpiece, producing handmade wrapping and cards, and setting a spectacular table. In addition, there are complete recipes for four international meals plus appetizers, and a large selection of desserts. Whether you're preparing to host a horde or just have a few friends over, this book will satisfy the creative holiday impulse.
