It’s that time of year again. You have to think of everyone important and buy the perfect holiday gifts, when all you want to do is take your favorite chair by the fireplace and warm your heart with a Christmas story. Wait, how about combining those two things?

Forget about turning the TV on and watching endless, pointless shows and the same movies all over again. There is nothing better than arranging books under the Christmas tree. Are you having a hard time choosing the right stories for all family members? Don’t worry; you won’t have to buy a dozen copies of The Christmas Carol. There are many other books that will set the perfect holiday spirit in your home. Christmas has inspired many writers to create beautiful stories that epitomize the spirit of the holiday: universal love, generosity, friendship, forgiveness and affection. When you get hectic with all the cooking, decorating and shopping happening around you, it’s time to remember what the holiday is really about. From How the Grinch Stole Christmas to Agatha Christie’s The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, there is something for each family member. If classics are your choice, then you’ll enjoy reading (and rereading) Little Women or The Nutcracker. If, on the other hand, you want to surprise someone with a suspense-creating mystery book, then you could never go wrong with Mary Higgins Clark! Don’t worry; there is something for romance lovers as well – Bring Me Home for Christmas will be a great comfort read in a cold night.
