Rejoice in the gaudiest gifts of the season with Merry Kitschmas, a glorious inspirational guide for Santa's hapless and hopeless little helpers. Sure to awaken fond memories of a tackier, spanglier time, the dazzling decorating ideas in these pages put the ho ho ho (or the oh, oh, oh) back into the holidays. Send tastebuds tripping on a sentimental journey with the delicious Yes You Can! straight-from-the-can-to-the-table Kitschmas feast. Dee-licious! Save a tree, and set the house aglow with a glittering aluminum White Trash Christmas Tree. And finally bring those nagging carolers that Frigging Figgy Pudding they've been yapping on about for decades. Merry Kitschmas provides a sleighful of holiday inspiration for anyone itching to craft with fruitcake, frolic in a tree skirt, and wow the neighbors with a spectacular lawn lighting fantasia. So, don you now your gay apparel -- it's beginning to look a lot like Kitschmas!

The Joke Was On Me!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2005

Verified Purchase

I love tacky/kitschy Christmas items and thought this would be a fun book to add to my library. Maybe some ideas decorating or using that wonderful stuff from the fifties and sixties? Wrong! It's not Kitsch, it's just plain dumb. Although some of the recipes might be worth trying if you want to re-create a classic fruit cake, why on earth would you add wheat grass to make it "completely inedible".

I'm always open to new ideas and love to have fun things around, but for the life of me I can't find one thing in the entire book that I would try to use for a fun holiday. The white powder donut tree? Nope. The rubber glove tree or the weenie tree -- I think not.

Yeah, I can take a joke and the book is meant to be one. But this joke was on me for spending the money on it.

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2005

Verified Purchase

I thought I'd read everything I needed to know about this book, but when I got it, it was completely different than what I hoped. The cover is an adorable reminder of some the kitschy things that made our Christmas as kids so fun. My Grandma had a few of the same little elves as you see on the front of the book. However, when you look inside, there's no more of that. Just a bunch of pictures of cocktails and fruitcakes. (I'm guessing that this was the kind of Christmas the author grew up with?) There is one page with a great idea for a snow man made of marshmallows. It's impressive and looks yummy. But the rest of this book just made me feel dirty.

I realize that this is probably a joke book, but this is one joke I don't get!

... the reviews more closely but I am a bit disappointed in this book

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017

Perhaps I should have read the reviews more closely but I am a bit disappointed in this book. It's a craft and recipe book for Christmas "kitschy" items and meals. I already know how to decorate and cook for Christmas. I was hoping for more of a fun retrospective on Christmas Kitsch's beginnings and current popularity. I'll be giving this book to a friend with the understanding that if she doesn't like it she can feel free to pass it along.

It's just what it is. I do feel that the photographer went into overkill with the red theme. Green much? LOL. /^^\

Bad and Not in a Good Way.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was very disappointed in this book. It's mostly lame crafts trying too hard to be "ironic". It's a pity the author took the word "Kitschmas" and put it in the title because now every time one Googles this word, this lame book shows up. The cover is cute, but the content is a failure. A wreath made out of a tire is just plain stupid.Awful.

It is exactly what the title says... "Kitsch(y)mas... I just enjoy the whimsical read...and actually plan to make the "Trailer" from a loaf pan to put into my vintage trailer. (one of the projects)
If you are serious and traditional about crafting you probably won't enjoy this book... but if you are 2-steps over the silly side of crafting you will enjoy this book.

Bit disapointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

Thought that this would have more content to it, the 'projects' lacked imagination and required the use of hard to get vintage pieces. Some nice photography, but on the whole if you are looking for a book that fulfills your vintage Christmas fix then I would purchase Kitschmasland - Christmas Decor from 1950's - 1970's
