Christmas Traditions - My Latest Book Purchase

A Big Lots opened up close to our house last month and I was curious to see what was inside. Just like ROSS, some stores are better than others. Although I wasn't too impressed with the stores inventory, and won't be making frequent trips there {which is a good thing actually!}, there were a few things that caught my eye that I ended up buying. This book was one of them....

{CLICK ON THE PHOTOS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM LARGER!}

It was just $5. And oh how I love it. It's packed with so many wonderful festive things for the Christmas holiday.


If you happen to have a Big Lots near you, and you are one who just loves celebrating the Christmas holiday in full force, see if your local store carries this book. You will love it!

I took some photos of the inside pages to share with you! These are some of my favorite ideas!...

And lots of amazing entertaining ideas and food spreads that will make your inner hostess want to throw a party asap just so you can recreate the looks!....

There are so many more great ideas inside! This is a book that I will keep for the long term and reference every single year when the Christmas holiday rolls around!

Added: If your local Big Lots store doesn't carry this book, or you don't have a Big Lots near you and would like to purchase one, you can find the book for sale on Amazon
