Over the past few years, each Christmas season I've read a 'christmas' book. I started this tradition with a fiction book, last year it was non-fiction. This year, back to fiction. (maybe a pattern here??) I really like this idea that just adds a little bit more magic to the season. I am starting Max on this tradition this year. Here's our reading list for Christmas 2010.
Me.
A Darcy Christmas - if you are a Jane Austen fan, or a Elizabeth Bennett + Mr. Darcy fan, the reviews of this book are in favor of it being a good read for the season. Three short stories, all taking on a different view of Christmas in the Darcy-era. (and if you are anyone who's seen Colin Firth walk out of the pond in the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, you know you are hooked!) I need something light and easy to read, to jump start my reading again. I think this will be a good start.
Max.
Footprints in the Snow - this is a new one for us. Looking forward to reading it as the reviews are all positive.
I've Seen Santa - another new one about a bear family waiting for Santa.
The Night Before Christmas - a classic. One of my favorites.
Reindeer Christmas - I believe I had purchased this book for the twinkies first Christmas (2008), though I cant remember. I enjoy this story. Its about doing good to others without passing judgement. In addition, the illustrations in this book are beautiful.
Santa Mouse - I could have sworn this was one of my favorites as a kid, but I cant find when this was first published. Either way, classic story.
This is just the begining to our Christmas tradition of reading the stories during the season. I look forward to the years to come to see how our list grows and changes.
What is on your Christmas reading list?
