Author Description

Ideals, a part of Christmastime family rituals for nearly seven decades, brings to mind -- and brings to life -- a Christmas full of warmth, hope, and love. The 67th annual Christmas issue serves as a touching reminder of the true meaning of the Christmas holiday. Heartwarming poetry and prose are joined by beautiful, full-color photographs and fine-art masterpieces. Beloved writers Pamela Kennedy and Michelle Medlock Adams share holiday memories and family traditions; poet Eileen Spinelli taps into the charm of the yuletide; and the original Christmas story is told through Bible passages accompanied by fine art. Kennedy also gives the history of a classic Christmas song, presented alongside sheet music. As an added bonus, it will be packaged with Ideals Christmas Cookies, a 16-page collection of recipes for cookies perfect for the holidays.
