Thanks to the letters and recipes you'd shared with us over the years, we got the idea of bringing it all together into one special Christmas cookbook, full of memories, tips and of course, tried & true recipes.
Celebrate the beauty and charm of the holidays with recipes for traditional food and drink, decorating ideas, and heartwarming stories With its trademark snow, piney forests, sleigh rides and woodsmoke curling out of village chimneys, New England was practically invented for the Christmas postcard. It’s got your Christmas goose and the maple syrup with which to glaze it. It’s most of the reason author Ellen Stimson made Vermont her home. Here she shares recipes that have been in her family for generations, mixes up a cocktail or two, and invites readers to make their own traditions.
What if the three wise men weren¿t really all that wise? What if they were just three ordinary guys, avoiding conflicts at home, who happened upon the greatest story ever told? Now add music, set the entire story in modern day America, sprinkle in a little redneck humor, and you have the smash A Good Old Fashioned Redneck Country Christmas: The Musical! Bill, Dave, and Jimmy have had it with their women! Even though it¿s Christmas Eve, and tradition dictates they should be home, drinking hot cocoa and singing carols, the boys decide to high-tail it into the mountains for a little hunting and a lot of beer. This protest does nothing to improve the mood of the women back in town. Lou runs Lou¿s Diner. She and Bill and have been trying (unsuccessfully) to have a baby. Barbie Jo, Lou¿s head waitress, is married to Dave, and they have kids, but Dave¿s not interested in family this year. Darlene, the most beautiful girl in three counties is dating Jimmy, but while she¿s ready to settle down, Jimmy can¿t stand the idea of ¿committment¿. It¿s gonna take a Christmas miracle to get these redneck families back together! Thank God one just came to town!
