SAVOR THE SEASON WITH BOOKS
Books are my thing. I adore the smell, the way treasured favorites fit in my hands, the site of books stacked on a coffee table, oh what joys these bring. Couple books with Christmas and I am giddy. Our Christmas book collection has grown over the years because of my passion, ok yes, my addiction to books, books, and more books.
Carving out time to read stories (and especially THE STORY) is a huge part of the Christmas season for me and my family. Lingering in the season with a book in front of the tree is pure pleasure. Here are ELEVEN of my favorites Christmas reads…

“This is the irrational season
When love blooms bright and wild.
Had Mary been filled with reason
There’d have been no room for the child.”
Madeleine L’Engle
