Summary: Typical Emilie
Review: I loved this book. It was very sweet and very helpful in planning parties for the holidays. The recipes are delightful and the references to scripture and old fashioned sayings add an even more personal touch.

Summary: TEAS FOR ALL AGES
Review: I RECENTLY TOOK A DEAR CO-WORKER TO LUNCH AT A WONDERFULLY QUAINT GIFT SHOP/TEA HOUSE WHICH SERVES DELICIOUS TEAS AND SCONES.I HAD A REASON FOR TAKING HER THERE BECAUSE WHILE ENJOYING OUR LUNCH I GAVE MY FRIEND THE BOOK THE TWELVE TEAS OF CHRISTMAS FOR HER CHRISTMAS GIFT. I KNEW SHE WOULD TREASURE THIS BOOK, AS I HAVE, AND HOPED IT WOULD LIFT HER SPIRITS AS SHE HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY. WHILE TELLING ANOTHER MUCH YOUNGER FRIEND ABOUT THIS DARLING LITTLE BOOK SHE BECAME SO EXCITED AND ASKED IF I WOULD GET HER A COPY SO SHE COULD START A TRADITION WITH HER FRIENDS OF HAVING A TEA PARTY AT CHRISTMAS EACH TEAR. SHE BOUGHT EACH ONE OF HER 6 FRIENDS A COPY OF TWELVE CHRISTMAS TEAS FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS GIFT. SHE WILL GIVE IT TO THEM AT THE FIRST ANNUAL TEA PARTY AT HER HOME USING THE RECIPIES IN THE BOOK. IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH ONE LITTLE BOOK CAN EFFECT SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES AND GIVE THEM SO MUCH JOY. JUST THINK HOW MANY BOOKS ARE GOING TO BE BOUGHT WHEN THE 6 FRIENDS RECEIVE THEIR COPIES.

Summary: Contains recipes/ideas reprinted from her other books
Review: This would have been great if I had never read another book by Emilie Barnes. However, I purchased two of her books at the same time -- and they both contained the same recipes and ideas. Needless to say, I bitterly resent having spent twice the amount to buy two books only to get the content of one repeated twice. Oh, there were a few additions, but none in which I was interested. This is one author I'll never read again.
