Holiday cooking is celebrated in special anniversary edition of the Christmas handbook featuring a host of delicious recipes, accompanied by detailed instructions and creative suggestions for decorations, entertaining, gifts, ornaments, foods, and more, all complemented by more than 120 full-color photographs.

An absolute treasure trove of fabulous projects, created by some of the most influential designers working today. They range from quick-to-stitch pieces to magnificent works of art--highly detailed and richly embellished. These stunning designs are almost all simply cross stitch, with only an occasional design requiring a specialty stitch or two.

From unique and whimsical wreaths, to sparkly handmade gift wrap, to deliciously simple confections, stylist Matthew Mead makes the holidays special and stress free. Step-by-step photos and instructions for personalized gifts, creative decor, and elegant edibles will make the season memorable.
