Country Living Merry & Bright: 301 Festive Ideas for Celebrating Christmas

by Country Living Magazine, Nancy Mernit Soriano (Foreword by)

Turn every nook and cranny of the house into a sparkling holiday wonderland! Country Living has created a delightful volume filled with hundreds of ideas for creating Christmas beauty everywhere—and it begins with the moment the first boxes of cherished ornaments come out. Every page is breathtaking, with unique color schemes that vary from the traditional red and green; fabulous tree-toppers; and exceptional ornaments, from paper dolls to leather baby shoes. Wreaths and garlands bedeck bed frames, doorknobs, and even hang from chandeliers. There are mantelpiece and tabletop displays with a contingent of Santa figurines, dazzling table and buffet settings, recipes such as chocolate snowflakes, and even some simple crafts—including a silvery cone of jingle bells embellished with a beautifully tied bow.

Some great ideas for Christmas decorating. The photos are, as usual for Country Living, beautiful and the projects are not only easy enough to consider doing, but pretty enough to want to do.
