I have many Christmas books including the entire series called The Spirit of Christmas by Leisure Arts.
This series ran from 1987 to 2003 with a new book published every year.
I bought mine on Ebay.
I did share these books on this blog back in 2012 but I have decided to share them again because I LOVE them and I think that even though they are older, you can find inspiration in them!!
I do apologize for the photos because they are from 2012 and were taken with a different camera than I have now but I did not feel like taking the photos over again!!
Each book is divided into 3 sections:
The Sights of Christmas- Decorations
The Sharing of Christmas- Gifts
The Tastes of Christmas- Recipes
These books feature everything you can make by yourself from Decorations to Gifts to Recipes for Cookies, Brunches, Parties and Dinners!!
I am going to be sharing the decorating ideas from these books and in this post, you will be amazed at all the Christmas Eye Candy!!!!
Spirit of Christmas Book 9 1995
Next Wednesday, I will be sharing Books 13-17!!
I hope you will come by and visit again!!

It's time to start seeking a little inspiration. I like to start thinking about it when it's 100 here in Texas.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining Thoughts of Home on Thursday this week. We are happy to have you. Pinning.
I love all the beautiful Christmas trees
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such amazing photos! They are so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI have some of the Leisure Arts books and need to dig them out - trying to
downsize now that we are retiring.
I always love Christmas in July and now you have made me love it more!
All the best to you, Mimi

Debbie, I adore books like this--thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be Christmas before you know it!
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it. You will be even busier with all these great ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt is entirely possible that I have some of those books in my collection. I enjoy sitting down and 'looking at' my Christmas inspiration books. So many beautiful ideas. Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday. Love your Christmas blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I could sit here for a long, long time looking at all these pictures! So many beautiful trees and decorations. Couldn't even begin to decide which one would be a favorite. It's wonderful to have you linking up with us for Christmas in July and also at Brag About It! Thanks for sharing all this inspiration!
