The 25 Best Christmas Books of All Time

"Included are books focused on the religious and cultural traditions of Christmas, as well as books that explore the fantastical side of the holiday with figures like Santa Claus, The Grinch, and the mysterious conductor of the Polar Express. You'll also notice a mix of longtime classics like J.R.R. Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas, along with newer books that are quickly becoming holiday staples.
Happy holidays and happy reading, too!"
