for option B Christmas decoration-
christmas tree on the coverFor option c food or drink on the cover
Great Christmas themed task!Regarding the word in a song option - does it have to an official "carol", like Deck the Hall or can we use a Christmas song like the Beach Boys Little Saint Nick or Ronettes I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus?

Thanks, Jamie! A Christmas song is fine.
For Option A, can the word be embedded? My favorite Christmas carol is "Angels We Have Heard on High." May I read "So I Married a Highlander?"Alternatively, for Option B, would this work? That is a piece of mistletoe in the top left corner of the cover.

The word can be embedded for option A. That book works for option B.
Would the leafy greens on the cover be okay for food? It is a book about nutrition, after all. Thanks!
For option C, Would this work for food and drinks?

For Option B, if a book has more than one author do all author's initials need to be in CHRISTMAS LIGHTS or just one?An Amish Christmas Quilt is by Charlotte Hubbard (who does fit the task), Kelly Long (who does not), and Jennifer Beckstrand (who does not)

Just one author's initials.
For Option A can I use The Christmas Song - Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire - for the word Fire. According to Wikipedia Fire is in the subtitlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chr...

That works.
For task A:My favorite Christmas carol is "Ave Maria" and I'm especially partial to the Salzburg Children's Choir's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnX3t...). The lyrics are in English, and include the world "child." Would it be okay to use Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex since "children" is a plural of "child"?

The word has to be in the song title or subtitle.

Oh drat, I didn't realize it was the name of the song. Too bad I don't want to read any books with "Maria" in the title! Thanks!

Please chose TWO different options and read a book for each.
Required: State which options you chose when you post.
A. I always enjoy listening to Christmas carols during the Christmas season. Read a book with a word of at least four letters from the song title of your favorite Christmas carol or song in the title or subtitle. Variations that preserve the meaning of the word, including plurals, possessives, and singulars, will work.
Required: Include the song title of your favorite Christmas carol in your post.
B. My family enjoys riding around to look at the many Christmas light displays in our area. Read a book with a Christmas decoration on the cover (Christmas tree, lights, ornament, wreath etc.) or a book by an author whose initials can be found in CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. Middle initials may be used or ignored.
Required: Include the cover showing the Christmas decoration.
C. Christmas gatherings usually involve a lot of good food and drinks. Read a book with food or drink on the cover.
Required: Include the cover in your post.
D. Merry Christmas! Read a book of your choice.
