Summary

Arranged in ten chapters with such names as "Cranberries," "Nuts," "Citrus," "Leaves," and "Pinecones," this festive compendium of holiday ideas and recipes is certain to show you how to make every Christmas one to remember. In "Winter Berries," berries are used to make wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces. In its own chapter, fruitcake has been reinterpreted so it will never run the risk of being left uneaten. "Leaves" shows how to make keepsake gifts out of embossed leaves and cards, and throughout the book there are clever packaging and wrapping ideas to suit every taste and budget. From now on, when you think of a classic Christmas, you'll think of Classic Crafts and Recipes for the Holidays.
