My Review: This was such a fun, cute book! It is full of great ideas on how to plan out the time around Christmas and ideas of how to use your kitchen to minister to others. It is pretty too! I have had it on my piano as part of a decorative array of items and it was so pretty! It is chock full of great recipes and ways to make things easier for all of us! Check this one out!!- Martha
