Searching for David's Heart: A Christmas Story by Cherie Bennett

*****

Christmas Boxby Richard Paul Evans

by John Grisham

*****

Starry, Starry Night by Lurlene McDaniel is the best Christmas-related story. It really gets me going for Christmas!

*****

The Christmas Angel. This is about a man falling in love with an angel...

A Christmas Wedding. One couple falls in love during Christmas.

The Christmas Letters. This captured three generations of women writing letters about their experiences.

*****

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
A Redbird Christmas
by Fannie Flagg
The Autobiography of Santa Claus
by Jeff Guinn
The Christmas Shoes
by Donna VanLiere
The Christmas Thief
by Mary Higgins Clark

*****

I think that Skipping Christmas was a good book. The movie, Christmas with the Kranks, left some good parts out. I guess some people will just have to read the book to know what I'm talking about! It's filled with love, laughter, and nonsense that pulls it all together, creating a holiday comedy. It's a good book for young teens to read on their spare time. I first read it the seventh grade. Since then, I've read it four other times.  It's not really all that long and it flows well, so reading it only takes a week or two, depending on how much you read at one time. I love that book so MUCH!!! I recommend it to any type of reader!!!
