Leisure Arts was a favorite idea book for my in the early 90s when I made all of my Christmas projects/presents. I enjoyed reminiscing through these pages of book 5, I found only 3 projects I wish to complete. I can use several projects with my first graders and they will be treasured.
The theme chapters were not half as appealing as the recipes in the second half of the book, most of which I hope to try when the holidays roll around. I also liked the ideas for fabric Christmas trees and garlands so this volume is definitely staying on my shelf.
In this The Spirit of Christmas , book 5 we have sections such as:
Winter in the village Celebrate A Rock N Roll Christmas Christmas at Grandmother's House A Festival of Trees I Believe and Fruits of he Season
And to start it off we are told this:
Christmas is a time when we can transform our surroundings in a wonderfully magical way. With a fanciful theme and a few well-chosen decorations, we can create a delightful atmosphere - one that makes entering our homes just like stepping into fairyland. What better gift to offer family and friends than such a festive haven! Surrounded by treasured keepsakes and charming new creations, we find great joy in our Christmas celebration.
