Christmas books are some of my favorite. Especially books for kids although didn't C.S. Lewis say something to the effect of if it's truly a good children's book, then it's also good for adults?
We have some that we read every year.
This year there are a few new ones.
**We already returned my one of my favorites- it's called Not Enough Beds. So cute! If you have ever had a houseful at Christmas, you should read this ABC book.
**Merry Christmas Mr. Mouse by Carolyn Buehner and Mark Buenher
**The Twelve Days of Christmas in Virginia by Sue Corbett You get a little history with your Christmas!
**Norman Rockwell's Christmas Book This is one I'd like to own. It's full of Rockwell illustrations, poems, songs, short stories, and excerpts, all about Christmas.
**Coming Through the Blizzard by Eileen Spinelli (Remember her book Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch?) This one is simple and sweet and made me a little teary at the end.
Some "old" favorites:
The Little Fir Tree by Margaret Wise Brown
Merry Christmas Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola
Berenstain Bears' Old Fashioned Christmas by Jan and Mike Berenstain
The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg
Silver Packages by Cynthia Ryland
Christmas in the Country by Cynthia Ryland
For adults: A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg
