A CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING: Our Favorite Christmas Memories, Songs, and Recipes

Looking for a down-home country Christmas? Music stars Bill and Gloria Gaither use these pages to allow their friends from the country and gospel music industries to share warm Christmas memories. The book is hokey and a bit frivolous, but well-designed; J. Countryman pulls out the usual stops in presentation, using lovely photography, borders and backgrounds to drive home the message. There are recipes for delectable holiday treats, including—but of course!—the obligatory fruitcake. Country music fans may enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek at the Gaithers' Christmas gatherings.
