The Ultimate Christmas: The Best Experts' Advice for a Memorable Season with Stories and Photos of Holiday Magic

I guess you could say Christmas is my all time favorite holiday! Like others I have lots to do to get prepared for this special time, but I love it all! However, I must admit sometimes it can get a little too hectic. At times like that I always welcome any help or advice I can get. This book has just that. There's great ideas for decorating, ideas to help keep the children busy, great uplifting stories telling of the true meaning of Christmas and so much more. There's even a few recipes that I know you'll want to try. The North Pole Peppermint Pie is delicious!! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Christmas!

Love all that Jeanne Bice does. She is inspirational and humous at the same time.

I just received and thumbed through my contributor's copy as well. What a great collection of stories, articles and tidbits. Anyone who likes Christmas at all will definitely want to have this book. Thanks Jeanne and HCI. Rick Dungey, "the Christmas Tree guy"

When my contributor copy arrived this week, I flipped through the pages just to see how my story, Up Front, looked. But then I spent the next hour browsing. It's such great fun and will be the perfect holiday bedside book. The photos alone will guarantee you'll have visions of sugarplums dance in your head, not to mention rum balls, fudge and even incredible gingered brussels sprouts. And if you start reading the slice-of-life stories at Thanksgiving, you'll have a tale a night to take you through to the New Year. Just picture Chicken Soup for the Soul coupled with Real Simple, and you'll understand the Ultimate Christmas concept. I'm ordering copies for everybody on my list. This is a present that will be cherished Christmas after Christmas.
