Delicious, old-fashioned recipes, handmade holiday gifts, and ideas for frosty fun! This book is bursting with an impressive selection. For entertaining, there is A Special Invitation Dinner where guests bring foods to complement the main dish, a Stack-It-Up Breakfast, a Festive Tree-Trimming Feast, goodies for which It All Starts With a Cake Mix, Transforming Traditions for friends who are far from home, and Taste-Tempting Treats such as Amazing Double Chocolate Truffles. Home decor themes include a wintry landscape with cool red and blue tones, inviting entryway ideas, jolly Santa accents, merry mantels, and plans for an ornament exchange party. There also are papercrafting projects by the dozens, including Artist Trading Cards, greeting cards, and stationery sets. Easy-to-make gifts include a woven scarf, an embellished manicure set, and a reindeer towel with bath mitt.

Summary: love these books
Comment: I look forward to the Gooseberry Patch Christmas books each year. They always have great ideas!
Customer Rating:
Summary: lucys mom
Comment: I am a big fan of the Gooseberry Patch Christmas books. This book does not "grab" me as the others have. I doesn't have the ideas that I would use like the others have. I was kind of disapointed with this book. I am sure it is difficult to keep coming up the original ideas each year.

Summary: Can I give it 0 stars?? Save your money
Comment: Not one "original" idea that I havent seen in every magazine or craft book for years. Most of the items were scrapbooking related, which was little things like tags and noting worth duplicating.
I love Gooseberry Patch, especially their Christmas books (I own them all), but this one has no originality, no spark, nothing that is worth even trying to do for a project. Usually there is at least ONE project that has me excited and running to the craft store, but this one was just boring and dull.
Save your money and just check it out at the library.

Summary: Fabulous decorating, recipes
Comment: I love this series of books. They have the best recipes and this second edition is no different. So far, my favorite is the third one but I've bought all of them and continue to do so every year. Yes, they're really THAT good! You just can't go wrong with the decorating ideas, gift ideas, and best of all the RECIPES! I use all the recipes throughout the year and my husband calls me a gourmet cook. I also buy these for friends for gifts but my husband doesn't want me to - he wants everyone to think that I am a gourmet!
