My aunt gifted this to me for my first married Christmas away from home.
The beautiful photos are followed by detailed instructions for all of the crafts. There are two different styles of decorations: Victorian Lace and Country Plaid. Following those are a Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas morning breakfast, and dinner suggestions with timelines for prep work starting a month out. So the appetizer bread could be made and frozen a month ahead. (I made the cranberry pie, and it probably needs adjusting because it turned out too sour.
