10 Totally Awesome Christmas Books – Our Personal Favorites
Lemony Snicket's Lump Of Coal
Any list of favorite this or best that is going to be subjective. And when you make a list like “10 Totally Awesome Christmas Books,” you’re really gonna get some variances. Some list makers like old school Christmas classics, others like something south of silly, and others insist on Christmas books with a religious leaning. This list? These are some of our personal favorites. Ones that I read as a kid that I still love now, and books that my child requests not just during the holidays but all year long. But I should mention, my daughter is a five, and as you could have guessed, a girl, so of course some girly-girl picks made the list.
Check out our pick for the top 10 Christmas Books to read now, next year and always. Do you have any family favorites that you read each and every year?
Of course it takes a wordsmith like Lemony Snicket to bring us a cute, funny and at the same time joyfully dark holiday tale. The aptly named Lump of Coal tells the tale of a lump of said coal trying to find a purpose in life.
