Martha Stewart's Christmas - Entertaining, Decorating and Giving (Paperback, New edition)

In Martha Stewart's household, the season begins in the last week of November, when Martha makes her plum puddings and starts filling her trademark gift baskets with home-made breads, biscuits, jams, flowering bulbs and other pleasures. December is spent creating sparkling, elegant ornaments, decking the halls with wreaths and garlands from the garden, choosing the Christmas tree, and building the gingerbread house. The culmination is Martha's annual Christmas feast, where neighbours, family and old friends gather to enjoy a glorious dinner. Against a luminous background of open fires and candlelight, schoolchildren sing traditional carols while the guests sip punch and eat a delicious array of desserts. In this book, packed with glorious photographs by Christopher Baker, the reader is invited to join the celebrations and learn how to create a glorious Christmas of their own.
