Christmas Book List
Well, I trust you do have plenty of books on your Christmas wish list!
There is a tradition in one of the Nordic countries where Christmas Eve is spent eating chocolate and reading books. I like that - a lot!
Don’t forget audio books. There are plenty of ways to take in stories. Reading will always be my first love but listening to stories comes in at a respectable second.
And these are great for people who might not want to sit down with a book but who are happy to listen to a story while doing something else. You take in more than you might think.
Re-reading Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather and watching the adaptation of it is on my list of things to do and A Christmas Carol will be on the agenda for me to revisit again at some point in the run up to Christmas.
I’ll almost certainly be watching the Muppet version. Not only is that a great adaptation, Gonzo, as narrator Charles Dickens, reminds people to go and read the book at the end of the film. I love that and I’d always second that suggestion!
Okay, you know when you’ve got books as presents. The shape is a dead giveaway but it doesn’t matter if you know what’s in the wrapping.
There will always be something special about unwrapping a book for Christmas.
And they do make fabulous presents.
