Orlando Author Tells How To (Still) Have An Old Fashioned Christmas.

(Orlando, FL - November 1997) Everyone wants an old-fashioned Christmas. They want home-made Christmas cards, stockings by the chimney, a popcorn and cranberry strung Christmas tree, and a huge roast and ham dinner.

What many people get instead is a television-directed Christmas with smaltzy feelings and too much candy.

Here's a remedy for what ails the modern Christmas. Just 24 Days Till Christmas, a picture book for all ages which delivers what today's Santa's can't--the directions and fun to be found in celebrating Christmas as a family with a smorgasbord of activities for everyone, young and old, children and adults.

Some project examples:

On Day 10, create individual Christmas trees using crescent dinner rolls and colored cherries. A yummy favorite sure to please visitors, neighbors and family members. Put the youngsters to work on this one!

Numerous stories such as Hidden Treasures and The Night Before Christmas are sure to keep the interest of children of all ages throughout the days and nights leading up to Christmas.

In all there are dozens of activities -- a recipe, activity and recipe for each of the 24 days before Christmas. These include everything from Day 1's sweet-smelling home-made Christmas cards to Day 14's rag angels and Milky Way cake.

Just 24 Days Till Christmas has over 200 pages packed with future traditions your family will want to repeat year after year. Orlando author, MyLinda Butterworth, has collected and tested recipes and directions for all activities -- making them virtually foolproof.
