Inspired by the most sought-after treasures from the 1920s through the 1960s, Susan Waggoner recreates a tempting array of decorations and provides step-by-step instructions that allow anyone to deck their halls with cellophane wreaths, glittered glass ornament balls, beaded bell garlands, and whimsical, tinsel-bedecked treat cups. Those pressed for time will also find quick crafts for every decade, along with style notes and decorating tips to pull it all together.
Nostalgic art provides a host of images to use in greeting cards and photo holders. And to keep spirits merry and energy flowing, Waggoner includes a sampler of easy-to-make candy recipes, from Mackinac Island Fudge to old-fashioned soft caramels.

If you're looking for nostalgia or a retro style, this is the perfect book to help you plan your Christmas decorations. Separated by decade, the designs and crafts quickly call to mind bygone days of Yuletide joy. Each chapter includes a "Style File" explaining the top trends seen in the decorations from each decade, how to decorate a tree in the style of the decade, and how to get the overall look of the era. The final chapter presents recipes for Christmas candy popular during the featured decades. Of special note is the art in the back; Waggoner encourages, "Scan or photocopy them, resize them or embellish them, and use them in your own cards, place cards, stickers, gift tags, ornaments, and accessories." This is a well-thought-out themed book for any craft collection.
