Product Description
The heart of Christmas is joy and generosity; nowhere is its spirit more beautifully captured than in this graceful volume from the editors of Victoria magazine. Their favorite Christmas vignettes form the basis for this elegant approach to America's best-loved holiday, lavishly illustrated with four-color photographs.Come experience the winter season in a new light: a snowy homecoming, a horse-drawn sleigh ride, holiday lights ablaze in a Victorian neighborhood in the South. To set a festive and romantic mood at home, Victoria The Heart of Christmas offers special decorating ideas -- fresh lilies tucked into the front-door wreath; treasured family photographs framed in silver and hung on the tree; a mantelpiece with white roses and gold ribbon; a table set for two with heirloom lace. You'll also find page after page of recipes for traditional holiday treats and gift ideas from the kitchen -- creamy trifle, spicy plum pudding, lavender jelly, and a complete Victorian dinner Dickens would have loved.

 Victoria: The Heart of Christman December 12, 2005

Through the glorious photography and settings you are drawn into
the nostalgia so evident in the Victorian scene. Moreover, it
is in the text that you are gladly carried away to another time
and age which, sadly, has been set aside upon a shelf marked Christmas Only.
The recipes are well worth the price of the book which is bound to garner your
favor and loyalty when you choose to create not only a Victorian, but a gracious setting.
 Nice to look at but.. November 23, 2002

I thought this book would be more of a "how to", but it is definitely not. It does have some recipes in the back, but on the whole it's a "lookin at" book, and it wasn't what I expected. It is gorgeous, but not very useful.
