Happy holidays
Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,

There’s nothing quite like Christmas in the country—the jingle of bells on a sleigh, a blanket of fresh snow on the ground and the warm glow of lights on the tree. Our December/January issue is full of heartfelt holiday stories and spectacular winter photos that will put you in the spirit.

This issue also features the winners of our annual Rural Photography Contest and our Yuletide Poetry Contest. We received so many great entries to the poetry contest, we’re sharing a few more of our favorites on our website.

And finally, be sure to visit us on Facebook and share your winter photos with other talented photographers who share your love of Country.

Ham with Spiced-Cherry Sauce

This showstopping entree will have everyone coming back for more. It’s a simple treatment that lends an appealing sweet-tart flavor to tender ham.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Only four ingredients make these moist biscuits a snap to prepare. I modified my grandma’s recipe to make it shorter and quicker. They’re my husband’s favorites.
