The many shades of white, beautifully complemented by the velvety verdure of evergreens and ivy, are a perfect choice for holiday trimmings--the decorations, the accents and accessories, the table settings. Glowing with candlelight and sparkling with sun-kissed snow, these pages are filled with glorious arrays of white and green. Noted designer Tricia Foley has a way with white: dozens of elegant little ornaments, a creamware-bedecked table, a frosty tree encrusted with crystal and silver decorations, an all-white gingerbread house, even a boxwood-swagged gauzy bed canopy. "Like a Currier and Ives print or a snow-capped New England steeple," Foley reminds us, "the image of the perfect white Christmas is firmly etched in our minds." Her visual feast shows how truly stunning holiday decor can be when planned in a symphony of whites. --Amy Handy
Book Description
Everyone knows that the best Christmas is a white Christmas-a traditional celebration with snow capping the eaves, a fire roaring in the fireplace, and a mistletoe ball hanging in the doorway. Tricia Foley, best-selling author of Having Tea, Linens and Lace, and The Natural Home, brings back the magic of the time-honored customs, along with her own white-on-white decorating style, to create the kind of Christmas that will make treasured memories for years to come.
With ideas for every room of the house, Foley shows how to borrow from the colors of nature in winter 'pure white and evergreen' to dress up the house for the holidays. She includes simple yet timeless suggestions for draping greens over the bed canopy, hanging all-white stockings of every size and fabric, lighting with votive candles, candelabra, and sconces, and wrapping with handmade papers and raffia ribbons. For entertaining, White Christmas presents the perfect Christmas tea, with snowy linens and homemade scones. Helpful tip boxes cover Christmas lore, favorite tales, and Christmas crafts, and a resource section provides useful lists of addresses, related books, and holiday songs.
For anyone who wants to make the most of the holidays, Tricia Foley's White Christmas is the ideal holiday decorating and entertaining companion.

Lovely.......2006-12-17
This book was full of beautiful snowy white Christmas pictures. More pictures than projects, more of a decorating book. A lovely coffee table book, especially during the holidays.

Book Description
When President Theodore Roosevelt announces that there will be no White House Christmas tree because cutting down trees is against his conservation efforts, his youngest sons, Quentin and Archie, are deeply disappointed. They can't imagine ChAristmas without a tree. The two determined boys enlist the help of their aunt and sneak a small tree into their bedroom. When the president finds out, he takes the boys to see the chief forester in hopes of teaching them a lesson. But the chief forester says cutting down smaller trees will help the taller ones grow. "Isn't that bully!" says the president, and the boys shout, "Hooray for the tree!"Gary Hines and Alexandra Wallner bring this story, based on actual events, to life in a light-hearted text matched with bright, cheerful art. Young readers will enjoy this humorous episode in history and relish the children's "victory" over their father. At the end of the book, there is a photograph of the Roosevelt family and an author's note on Roosevelt, his children, and the real Christmas tree.
Customer Reviews:
Accessible Story Weaving Christmas and History.......2000-12-13
This is an interesting Christmas book for young children. The story is played against the backdrop of the Roosevelt White House (Teddy's), and an apparently true story involving the conservationist president's decision not to allow a cut tree into the White House because he want's to be a good example for Americans.
Of course TR's notoriously rebellious brood tries to outfox their dad by secretly procuring a pine tree and stashing it away, decorated, in a bedroom closet. When discovered, TR marches the boys down to speak with Gifford Pinchot, his head of the US Forestry service. Pinchot says that sometimes cutting small trees can actually be beneficial to forests as it gives room for other trees to thrive and grow.
With that OK, the live tree (although a small one in keeping with the chief of forestry's direction) is again welcome into the White House and is part of a festive christmas celebration.
This story interests my children. Besides the Christmas hook, it involes the president and the White House, concepts they are familiar with. It also teaches a conservation lesson. Good book for the 4-7 set.
Good job of "personalizing" a White House Christmas.......1999-11-02
This book was excellent for 4-8 year olds to personalize Christmas at their house and at the first family's house. It also introduced a real life president and how carrying out his duties affected his home life. My son saw this as his first 'history lesson' of sorts. As an extra bonus it just so happens that one of President Roosevelt's sons was named Quentin. My son will remember this fact because that's his name and my husband, his dad's name happens to be Theodore!

One day Grant and Christina were eating at the dinner table when they got a call from someone that sounded like a stern official and he asked for Mimi (the kids g-ma) when she got on the phone the guy said it was final for the family to get a private tour of the White House. Grant and Christina asked D.C. and April if they wanted to go to Washington D.C. with the family. The two friends said they would love to go. So next they started packing thier bags then they got on the plane. When they arrived in D.C the ground was covered in snow and the went to eat at Old Ebbit Grill. After they were done they went to the White House. When they got thier they split up and the kids found all kinds of secret passage ways.

Book Description
It's Christmas Eve, and there's not a snowflake in sight! Ojo, Tutter, Treelo, Pip, and Pop are trying their best to be merry and bright, but they're really dreaming of a white Christmas. With a little help from Bear, they realize that Christmas isn't just about snow and presents, it's about sharing a special time with those you love.
Customer Reviews:
Nice story.......2007-01-10
Nice story for kids at christmas. Suitable for 3 years and over. My 18 month old didnt get it but she is crazy about the bear in the big blue house
It's the Holiday Spirit That Counts.......2006-02-12
Christmas is coming to the Big Blue House, but it seems like the minds of our friends Tutter, Ojo, Treelo and Pip and Pop just aren't on the holidays. They keep stealing glances out the window and are kinda sad because it's dry and windy outside and there's no snow.
Bear helps them all to see that even without snow, it's the holiday spirit that truly makes Christmas great. Another wonderful, and original, "Bear in the Big Blue House" story. The characters look like they do on the TV show, but the rest of the illustrations are original and done by a veteran pro at illustrating Muppet books --- Tom Brannon.

WHOOPS!.......2001-01-08
Too wordy for such a young targeted audience. Illustrations are not flattering to the First Families. According to the book jacket the artist has yet to tour the White House.
1 PICTURE WORTH 1,000 WORDS.......2000-11-30
A short poem best describes my review of this book: "In this time of White House stress, When "The West Wing" is the best, It is nice to see a work of art, Showing 1600 has a heart!" THE BOOK IS AS CUTE AS THIS POEM! The author and the illustrator are both world class!
I Love the book !!.......2000-11-15
A wonderful book for children to see how the First Familes celebrate Christmas at the White House. I love how the author has woven true events of each First Family at Christmas into the text. The color illustrations are absolutely beautiful. The additional information in the back of the book for parents, grandparents, and teachers is a real plus. It is really hard to find a non-fiction Children's book of this caliber. Of course, I think the author's first book "Season's Greeting's from the White House" is a classic !

Heather's Rage: A mother's faith reflected in her daughter's mental illness.......2005-09-10
Heather's Rage helps people understand that having a loved one or them self that has a mental illness is no one's fault. It is a illness that can be inherited just like any other illness. It also helped me see how long I went undiagnosed with bipoler.
