Publisher's Synopsis
A family favourite and time-honoured tradition for the Christmas season. The magazine that has inspired readers for sixty-six years shines in this Christmas edition. Loyal readers are drawn to Ideals magazine for its celebration of life's most treasured moments. Here a new edition serves as a touching reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. Readers will savour the lyrical poetry and heart-warming prose by familiar contributors and new favourites. These carefully chosen pieces are joined by beautiful, full-colour photographs and fine-art masterpieces, making Ideals a visual treat as well. Here, beloved writer, Pamela Kennedy remembers heartfelt and home-made gifts exchanged through the years; Eileen Spinelli brings us a charming wintertime poem; the original Christmas story is excerpted from the Bible and illustrated with fine art depicting the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. And long-time favourite feature, Family Recipes, includes recipes chosen for the family gatherings that are a welcome part of the holiday season. As a special gift, each copy will be packaged with the Ideals Christmas Songbook, a 16-page collection of sheet music and lyrics of favourite Christmas carols.
