Cool Christmas Reads

It’s December, which means it is time to crack out some Christmas reading! There are always so many to choose from, whether it is the classics everyone knows to new ones, picture books, novels, and all sorts of things. Over the years, I have collected many Christmas books, some in multiple editions, and I always like to try and read some during December. I counted all my Christmas books and came up with a list of 38 – ones that I have read throughout the years, and some have come my way recently and have reviews up on my blog. This list doesn’t include duplicates, but it gives you an idea of the vast array of Christmas reading that I have done and aim to do.

I have listed them in the order I remembered them in, keeping companion books together where I can, and as you can see, it covers a wide range of Christmas stories that everyone can enjoy, and there should be something for all ages here as well. I have linked to my reviews or other sites where I don’t have a review.
