I really love flipping through this book and dreaming about doing some of the fun activities in it. I say "dreaming" because, let's face it, my kids are still young and making homemade lace could just be a bit too advanced for their skill level. The Pioneer Lady's Country Christmas by Jane Watson Hopping is a great book for you if you want to share with your children old traditions, food, crafts, poems, stories, and pictures of Christmas in the past. The stories and poems could be dabbled here and there with Christian ideals but even if you are secular like we are it still is well worth a read. The recipes are so interesting because they are different from our modern day meals.
I own this book now because our library took it out of their collection. It's not in print anymore so if you want to purchase it you'll have to look for a used version.
