Snowflakes and holly, clusters of cranberries, cold wind whistling around the door...in snowy December, hearts and homes are warmed by the season. Homecomings are sweet when someone you love, rosy-cheeked and smiling, is welcomed with hugs and holiday greetings! Christmas is a special time when family and friends gather...delicious aromas come from the kitchen, baskets of greenery, garlands and wreaths decorate our homes, and handmade gifts from the heart take the chill out of the winter winds.

In Farmhouse Christmas, updated with mouth-watering photos, you'll find a variety of wonderful home-style recipes to enjoy...Roast Turkey and Sourdough Bread Stuffing, Baked Yams with Nutmeg Butter, Winter Chicken Stew, Butterhorn Rolls, Honey-Carrot Salad and Sugar Cream Pie. We've also gathered together a sampler of holiday trimmings, wrapping ideas and easy gift tag patterns, special holiday activities for kids, hand-crafted gifts to give, and heart-felt holiday memories to enjoy.

Take time to delight in the best of the holiday season...hang stockings on the mantel, put an extra quilt on the foot of the bed and enjoy the simple pleasures of a country Christmas. 208 recipes.
