Memories, crafts and recipes accompanied by a delightful new CD release, a medley of Rita's favourite Christmas songs. Internationally renowned recording artist, concert performer, television star and songwriter Rita MacNeil invites you to experience Christmas down-home style in Sydney, Nova Scotia, with her music, family and friends. Rita takes us for a stroll through her memories of her childhood in Big Pond, and welcomes us to her church to observe midnight mass. Rita then opens her heart and her home, where all the generations of Rita's family set up the tree and then gather round the warm hearth, all golden and strewn with Rita's favourite decorations and heirlooms. She guides us to the kitchen, where she is preparing a sumptuous dinner for the most holy of nights. Finally, she invites us backstage to observe her Christmas concerts and television specials, with their cavalcade of stars. Mingled with these reminiscences are fun family activities--creating Christmas ornaments and making delicious Christmas treats, straight from Rita's family recipe book to you. Snapshots from the family album capture intimate moments with Rita and her family, and showcase the playful atmosphere of Rita's home at Christmastime. Warren Gordon's stunning photographs also capture the beauty of the Nova Scotia winter and celebrate all the wonders of the season.. This wonderfully lavish book also includes photographs from Rita's popular televised Christmas specials with such friends as Patti LaBelle, John McDermott, Natalie MacMaster and the Barra MacNeils.
