Less-Know Christmas Books

We all know A Christmas Carol, The Gift of the Magi, Christmas Everyday, and some of you might know The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. But what if you're sick of those stories and want something new for the holidays? Well, look no further; whether you want something satirical or sentimental, I cover all types of sensibilities for your Yuletide celebration. These are the lesser-known works focusing on this wonderful occasion (some of them are included because their adaptions are far more well-known than the books themselves). Enjoy and I hope you find something new!
