I love snuggling up in a blanket on cold winter evenings and reading my favorite Christmas novels! Each year I read some old books as well as add new ones so my list of top 12 books changes each year.
Here is this year’s list of my top twelve Christmas books and novels. The hardest part about making a list like this is ranking them. I’ve written book reviews for a few of these. I’ve included the links if you’d like to read them.
If you don’t see your favorites here, leave a comment with the book title and author—I’m always looking for great stories!
12) Object Talks for Christmas by Verna Kokmeyer

Thanks so much for including The Yuletide Angel, Sandra! I think it’s always a Christian writer’s prayer that their stories inspire or encourage others, so this is a blessing for me.
Last year, I read Liz Curtis Higgs’ Christmas novella A Wreath of Snow and really enjoyed it. It’s a historical set in Scotland.

I read your novel for the first time this year, Sandra. I enjoyed it. I met Liz Curtis Higgs earlier this month. I bought A Wreath of Snow. I have a feeling it might wind up on next year’s list… Thanks for commenting!

Thanks, Firelands. I agree. I doubt another book will ever surpass this classic for me. Thanks for commenting!
