Letters From Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien
Letters From Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien is one of my favorite books I've read all year! It's so sweet. I love Santa stories and Tolkien, so it was an obvious read for me.
11… Christmas Songs I Can’t Live Without
11... Christmas Songs I Can't Live Without This is not an authoritative list, but it's my list!!! I love it!
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson has a soft spot in my heart because I played Imogene Herdman in the play version as a child, but this is the first time I read the book. I loved it!!! It's a great story for children, but it is still poignant and nuanced.
Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire
Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire is a really interesting anti fairy tale. Maguire deconstructs a well known supporting character into a vibrant and interesting man.
Christmas Decorating
Christmas decorating is always far more fun when you have a cute dog to help... I also have a tip to make your house look more Christmassy for less money!
