Christmas with Southern Living

I collect the Southern Living Christmas books every year and this is my favorite. The decorations are lovely and I've had great success with the receipes. This book sets the standard.

As always, Southern Living books cannot be beat. Love the decorating ideas and recipes. The pictures are fabulous!!!

Every year I look forward to the Christmas with Southern Living book. I enjoy them very much and have been collecting them for several years. I've tried the recipes and have never been disappointed. The beautiful color photos offer loads of decorating and entertaining ideas.

CHRISTMAS WITH SOUTHERN LIVING 2006 (0848731158, $29.95) isn't strictly a cookbook, though recipes are its core: it combines menus and time-saving holiday plans as well as party ideas with dishes which lend to entertainment and family gatherings. Many are fast, easy editor's picks, with chapters handily divided by type of entertainment: brunch buffet, office party, dinner party, and the like. A winner. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

I have been buying this book each year since 1995. This one is the best ! I will actually cook most of the items printed this year. They all sound and look fabulous. I'm not a big crafter so that part of the book rarely appeals to me. They have nice decorating ideas and gift wrapping suggestions along with other crafty ideas. I love using the calendar in the book to record little items like the temperture and weather bits for some of the days. Cute things my children did are recorded also. I love looking back over the years at these entries and remembering the little things you don't think about when your family grows up.
