Christmas Books

My mother and I share a delight in Christmas books.  We get them out every year and display them, covers up please; on the coffee table, in the reading nook, by a convenient chair near the kitchen. Their familiar bright covers seem to add to the house decorations and our Christmas spirits.

Then, while those cookies are baking, or in between wrapping presents, we can slow down for a moment to dip into a favorite Christmas tale.

I’ve whittled my Christmas books down to a cherished few (OK a dozen or so) and re-read them, or at least browse through them, every year.

So tune in tomorrow, each day I’ll be showcasing one of my favorite holiday books while counting the days until Christmas.
