This 208 page hardcover book, by Better Homes and Gardens, Is a treasury of Holiday ideas! There are colorful pictures that show the finished projects and some diagrams that are helpful in completing the creative projects. The projects range from Holiday Topiaries, candles, and beautiful centerpieces to make your dining table festive, to wreaths and wall banners. Many of the projects and ideas would be a wonderful ‘family Holiday project’! This book also includes Holiday poems, songs, recipes and stories. The stories are a delight for the whole family to read, share, and enjoy. One story is titled, "La Befana, An Italian Christmas Legend", and another titled, "The Mouse That Didn’t Believe In Santa Claus". And the most special story of all, "His Name Was Called Jesus". This story has a beautiful copy of the painting, "The Adoration Of The Shepherds", from the Giorgione National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

The book is © Meredith Publishing Co., 1966, Printed in the U.S.A. The corners of the hardcover book have some wear,  There is a ink pen marks on the inside of the cover and small marks on the books binding. There is some black speckles on the top of the cover.  I'm not sure if it's part of the design or what??.
