“Christmas is, above all else, a time of sharing. And because it is women who have traditionally brought this season to life for family and friends, the editors of Victoria present A Woman’s Christmas, a celebration of the way the holiday was meant to be: small, intimate, rich with personal touch.
Part inspiration, part reflection, part journal ~ A Woman’s Christmas is filled with ideas for making the season joyously uncomplicated. Here are inventive ways for decorating home and heath simply: for choosing or making the perfect gift, however small; for entertaining without elaborate cooking and planning; and, perhaps most importantly, for relaxing despite hectic schedules. Special pages simplify such pleasurable activities as creating soothing floral sachets and pomander ornaments; others offer recipes for raspberry sorbet; and still others encourage quiet time - herbal baths and long walks - to refresh and rejuvenate. And pages set aside for journal-keeping allow readers to record thoughts and reflections, information and reminiscences, year after year.
Throughout the book are quotations from writers and poets to amuse and delight, to offer perspective and wisdom about this most emotional of seasons. Beautiful color photographs, illustrations, and fine art illuminate every page.”
