If the words classic Christmas make images of Christmas cactus, fruitcake, and roast turkey dance in your head, then Classic Crafts and Recipes for the Holidays will make all of your yuletide dreams come true.

Arranged in ten chapters with such names as Cranberries, Nuts, Citrus, Leaves, and Pinecones, this festive compendium of holiday ideas and recipes is certain to show you how to make every Christmas one to remember. In Winter Berries, berries are used to make wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces. In its own chapter, fruitcake has been reinterpreted so it will never run the risk of being left uneaten. Leaves shows how to make keepsake gifts out of embossed leaves and cards, and throughout the book there are clever packaging and wrapping ideas to suit every taste and budget.
