t began to look alot like Christmas at the Cleaver's house beginning Thanksgiving weekend....Vintage 1972 'Great Big Christmas Book' Number 9, with wonderful and creative ideas for fun crafting projects, tasty food, and decorations to grace your Holiday home. The cover Christmas Jester project is easy and so adorable, and there is a Special Section (removable) with complete directions to make a beautiful Charles Dickens Village to cut out and assemble. One of our favorites is the sleek Art Moderne table top Christmas Trees made from knitting yarn, iron on patches, and cardboard, designed by William Miuccio. The great and unusual recipe for a Citrus Almond Fruitcake gives a delicious 'twist' to an old family favorite, and the creative menu for a CURRY Party is totally 'au currant' and perfect for the 2006 palette! There are hundreds of projects, recipes and designs, lavishly illustrated in color and black and white photographs and accompanied by easy to follow, detailed directions. The soft cover has 144 pages and is in Very Good condition, with former owner's name neatly written on the cover. Pages are tight and unstained, with only light and normal age yellowing.
