A collection of ideas for making ornaments and gifts, loosely based on the popular series created by L.M. Montgomery. There are also plans for a Christmas concert, and some yummy-sounding recipes.

My mom and I loved flipping through this at the holidays and trying our hand at the recipes!

This book feels dated and not just because they are taking their ideas from a novel set in the Victorian era. There's got to be a classier way of making these crafts than just with a mountain of paper doilies.

The most interesting part was the recipes. The crafts were just so-so. The illustrations were nice.

Just a fun look at the past Christmas wise. Don't think I would make anything in the book but I loved the illustrations.

I wanted this to be Anne Christmas-themed stories, but it was more an arts and craft book. Still very adorable and cozy!

I so love this book. When my Mom got it for me, I read through it all and tried as many of the activities (cooking for tea parties, pressing flowers, learning to sew) as I possibly could. And now I am reading it with my daughter, who loves it just as much. Buy this for your nieces/daughters/granddaughters/friends!

Read in preparation for an Anne of Green Gables Christmas Party at the library...the craft section offered some useful ideas (if adapted for construction paper and glue, of course).
