Everything is a bit over the top, and I don't have the energy to decorate that way, but, I love looking at them.

I have the same problem when I come across interesting recipes on-line, and I get "the munchies".<br /><br />I don't have a single Christmas book and I no longer buy or borrow Christmas magazines. I would only find myself feeling inadequate at not being able to quickly recreate a decoration or recipe that took a team of 6, two weeks to accomplish!Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28263333189402873672019-06-13T13:20:58.225-07:002019-06-13T13:20:58.225-07:00In the 90's only!

I'm not sure if I remember what 90 feels like...lol. These days there are too many Christmas books...and also other books such as gardening, etc. Maybe it is too easy to publish lately.

Don't mean to make anyone feel guilty! :D I used to belong to several "Book of the Month" type of mail order book clubs, so most of the books were bought at a discount. I don't know if her books are as popular now as they used to be (probably not), but, hopefully, someone will find a use for it.

But I've had the MS book 25 years, and it cost quite a lot back then. I haven't used any of the recipes in the 5 years I've lived in this house. Maybe it should go... "How many Christmas books?" is a good question. I do not need to make any more decorations for my house (esp as downsizing for retirement) and a recipe is a recipe all year round. I don't need a book to remind me to garnish with a sprig of Holly or sprinkle stars on a pudding... Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
