Four Midwestern Sisters' Christmas Book

Rating:
Summary: Quirky & Heartfelt
Review: This books has become an essential part of my own holiday traditions. I read it every year as I prepare for the holidays, and in difficult years I find it cheers me when nothing else will. The recipes are typically simple and Mmmm!. Holly has a bold no-nonsense approach to doing what it takes to have fun during the holidays, while still being sensitive, tender and funny. As a quilter, I particularly loved her recommendation about favorite holiday fabrics (Buy the bolt!). For anyone who either lives, has lived, or who romanticizes rural living, AND loves Christmas, this is a pure pleasure. Thank you, 4 Burkhalter sisters!

Summary: Four Midwestern Sisters' Christmas Book
Review: This was an easy and fun-to-read book because I also grew up in Iowa, the eldest of four sisters (and six brothers). The traditions and the recipes brought back many memories of wonderful Christmases past.

I'm trying to find four more copies for the four adult daughters of a friend of mine who died this past year. I've told their dad what a meaningful gift it would be for each of them.

This was truly a special book for me to read. And it reminded me how much I treasure my family.
