2.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, but not as good as previous editions., July 15, 2006

By	Dr Pepper "Loves to read" (USA) - See all my reviews

I collect all the Southern Living Christmas books (I LOVE THEM ALL!), and this one was a little disappointing. 90% of the book was recipes. This book had very little crafts, decorating, or giftwrap ideas as in the previous editions.

I finished reading the book with the impression this one was just thrown together. Lots of repeating pictures, with little information. Too much FLUFF-- not enough substance.

What makes this book worth buying is the section about how to decorate a mantle in Fall AND Winter, using the same "bones" but changing out minor accessories. It's a beautiful section that is very inspiring.

I had hoped for more CHRISTMAS in this book-- it didn't deliver. It just felt like a cookbook with pictures inside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes/Ideas I will use, August 15, 2006

By	Marsha Nelson - See all my reviews

I have been buying this book each year since 1995. This one is the best ! I will actually cook most of the items printed this year. They all sound and look fabulous.

I'm not a big crafter so that part of the book rarely appeals to me. They have nice decorating ideas and gift wrapping suggestions along with other crafty ideas.

I love using the calendar in the book to record little items like the temperture and weather bits for some of the days. Cute things my children did are recorded also. I love looking back over the years at these entries and remembering the little things you don't think about when your family grows up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Christmas book!!!, July 27, 2006

By	ALR "ang01" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

I don't agree at all with a previous review of this book. It is NOT 90% recipes. I think it is evenly divided between recipes and decorating ideas. The pictures are wonderful and don't repeat over and over as previously suggested. The book provides slow-cooker recipes which I am looking forward to trying this holiday season. Christmas with Southern Living 2006 is a MUST for any true holiday/decorator!! Buy yours today!!
