This is one of the first books in the series I ever owned. I loved it enough to go back and find the earlier ones. I don't think I ever made a new meal for my family that didn't come from a Christmas book. But the decorations are what keep me reading them over and over every summer.

I liked it, but...
Like most Gooseberry Patch publications, this is filled with good ideas, and a lot of average ones too, and over all tends to a specific aesthetic. So you kinda know what you're going to get (at least in the broad sense), and you'll either like it or not. For me, it's kinda hit or miss as a style - a lot of the style is fine, but only if toned down a little (not quite so country chic). Here, we have all sorts of decorations (buntings, mantle pieces, ornaments, tree skirts, etc) and recipes for the Christmas season.
Also like Gooseberry Patch books in general, while the projects and recipes are all grouped nicely into sections, the actual page layouts are kinda like a Pinterest board - the page layouts are more haphazard or even chaotic than cleanly ordered. One of my bigger frustrations. Basically, make sure you bookmark the projects you want if you want to have any hope of finding them again.
