Summary: One of the best books to get you in the spirit of the season
Comment: For the past several years I have pulled this book out at Thanksgiving to remind myself of specials "niceties" to include during the holiday season. Many of the author's suggestions have become standard fare in our home---like rolling pine cones in peanut butter, sprinkling with bird seed which adheres to the peanut butter, and hanging them from trees as a nice treat for our feathered friends. You'll find hundreds of short suggestions for making your holiday bright and cheery--everything from baking Christmas cookies while a Johnny Mathis CD plays in the background to stirring your hot chocolate with a candy cane. My favorite is: Throughout the holiday season, give your family the gift of a sweet disposition.

My only disappointment is that the author never did a follow-up volume with even more ideas.

Summary: Emphasis on traditions, sometimes a bit unpractical
Comment: My reaction to this book was mixed. It contains many (432) suggestions/reminders of things to do to help make Christmas meaningful. Some relate directly to what I feel is the true spirit of Christmas: peace and caring among all people. Others seem to make clear that a target audience is a middle- or upper middle-class audience with plenty of time to devote to baking, running errands, etc. More suggestions tailored to busy schedules would have been helpful, as well as less emphasis on a red/green/santa theme. I find the holidays commercial enough without this additional impetus. The suggestions focused on giving of myself I particularly enjoyed.
