Christmas in France 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This book is a part of a series (another is Christmas in Germany).

This is a wonderful book showing the history and traditions of French Noel. This book mentions Reveillion (the Christmas feast), the Santons of Provence along with the celebrations that are held outside of Paris.

This book is excellent and I would recommend adding it to your library.

My mother gave me this book when my kids were little. They are teenagers now and still love to hear the stories each year. It is a treasured family tradition that reminds us daily of the real reason to celebrate Christmas. I am ordering it now for my staff as gifts this year.

Wonderful book for a gift or family library! 5 out of 5 stars.

PERFECT for when I need to make 18+ teachers gifts at Christmas and End of the school year, or the neighbors, coworkers and countless other people I need to do something for.

Hanukkah Lights: Stories of the Season by Harlan Ellison 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a fabulous book!
My whole family loved it. Each story has a twist. It's not what you think.
It's light and yet deep reading and fun to read aloud whatever one's Jewish outlook is. Engaging even for non-jews like my husband.

Don't bother... 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I am glad that I didn't pay full price for this book. These are the same ideas that you have seen in every other book on homemade Christmas gifts. Most of these I wouldn't even make as they look cheap. If you want a good book on this subject, try The Spirit of Christmas by Leisure Arts

Great Book! 5 out of 5 stars.

Ooh, I just couldn't wait for this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Well, it finally was released. I was so excited to see that this book was on the way and I certainly haven't been disappointed. I just love all the decorating ideas in this book - my husband grabbed it and off he went to the store to buy the stuff it recommends. Sure was beautiful when he was done. This book makes decorating elegantly so very beautiful for the holidays, and it just gives you so many nice ideas. But, the RECIPES! Yikes! Better buy those elastic waisted pants because you'll need them after these awesome dishes. You know it's bad when you want to start with the first recipe and just make everything else afterwards. That's how it is with this book. It's really that good! You won't be disappointed with this book. I just love it!
