The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas, 1991 first edition.  297 page hardbound cookbook with dustjacket.  Jeff Smith shares a lot of his personal feelings about the significance of Christmas, and his writing is obviously based on historical research. In a charming progression, he takes us through the events of the first Christmas and designates a feast including a special dish for each of the characters involved, from the Christ child Himself, to the angels, to even the beasts.  A great read, and a must-have for the holidays.  In like new condition with only minor shelf wear.
