Ideals Christmas 2009

The magazine that has inspired readers for 65 years shines in this anniversary edition. The much-collected Christmas volume serves as a touching reminder of the true meaning of the Christmas holiday and of special family traditions. Heartwarming poetry and prose are joined by beautiful, full-color photographs and fine-art masterpieces. Here, beloved writer Pamela Kennedy reflects on the holiday; poet Eileen Spinelli spins a charming yuletide verse; and the story of the first Christmas, as told in the Holy Bible, is illustrated with fine art depicting the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. We've also included nostalgic art and text selections from years past.

Included is a bonus 16-page cookbook featuring more than 30 mouthwatering Christmas recipes.
