A glorious appreciation and evocation of winter and Christmas. The book includes personal memories, historical facts, anecdotes and recipes. His pleasure in Christmases past and present is infectious. I was amused by his dislike (somewhat shared) of e-cards. I was utterly caught up in the sights, sounds and smells of these months. Also there is the bonus of additional, delicious recipes to try. I have noted to start reading it again in November this year!
