I've been wanting to read My True Love Gave to Me Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins . It's 12 short holiday stories, but I like all the authors. I'm also thinking about Let It Snow by John Green . I have to think of some books I've read that celebrated the holiday's and I'll let you know!

ETA: I thought of a couple that have the holiday's in them Flat-Out Love (Flat-Out Love, #1) by Jessica Park My Life With The Walter Boys by Ali Novak
