items I have always loved Christmas books, and here is a list of all the Christmas books I've read and enjoyed over the years.
The title sounded like something I wouldn’t enjoy, but since I’ve enjoyed many stories by this author, I decided to try it. I actually liked it. It was fun to read about someone apologizing for things he did 10 years ago in high school that he didn’t...
12 Dates of Christmas
Short story based on a true story from the early days of 9-1-1
911 Christmas by Rebekah A. Morris
Red trucks and Christmas time? Yes, please!
A Carol in Her Heart by Rebekah A. Morris
This is such a lovely, though short, Christmas story. I loved the message about thinking of others and doing your part even if it seems like just a little bit. The ending almost made me tear up. This is a wonderful addition to the other stories about...
A Chance and a Hope (Librarians of Willow Hollow)
The idea of Christmas by the sea sounded so different and interesting that I picked up the story. I'm glad I did. I sympathized with Wendy as she tried to figure out how to pay off the debts she owed after her husband died, and how to give her son a ...
Books - A Christmas by the Sea: Carlson, Melody
Aaaaahhhhh!!!! This was awesome!!! Another new favorite! I loved the different personalities of the Marcum siblings, and the way that Derek got the answer to his question of what he would really do in a crisis. Loved the way all the kids pitched in t...
A Christmas Disaster (Christmas Collection)
I didn't read the first books in this series. I jumped right in with this one and discovered it could stand alone. Perhaps someday I'll go and read the first four books. This story tells about two different sets of characters, so it's almost like two...
A Christmas Promise (Cape Light, Book 5)
Another fun Christmas story! I can't imagine having that many strangers crammed into one house, but I loved the way they all pitched in, not only to help out but to actually make a meaningful Christmas for everyone who was stranded. I especially love...<3 ~ Review by Angie, a reader
A Crazy, Crowded Christmas (Christmas Collection)
This story was so cute! I love dogs, but I'm not one of those "save the animals" people. However, while this story did involve helping the dogs in the local animal shelter, it was so much more than that. Basing this story on his own family experience...
A Dog Named Christmas: Kincaid, Greg: Books
Such a darling, heart-warming story. I liked Lori at once and wanted to help her know that Christmas was real. I loved the Christmas ornament tradition! The relationship between Alvin and Olivia was lovely. This is a Christmas story I know I’ll read ...
A Family for Christmas by Hannah Foster
I grew up reading a few of the Lonely Doll books (we checked them out of the library), and this one is one I don't remember ever seeing. The story is cute and fun. Edith works on a special gift for Mr. Bear but it doesn't turn out how she thought it ...
A Gift From The Lonely Doll (Lonely Doll Series)
Another delightful story by Alta Seymour. This one is based on stories her father told about growing up in Norway, and he is the main character in the book. That made it even more fun to read. Although this book is shorter than her other Christmas st...
Grandma for Christmas - Alta Halverson Seymour
So good. So enjoyable. Even if it takes place in the middle of a war. I smiled a few times and felt a few tears at one point. And all the Christmasy things and feelings made it even better.
A Heart Without Christmas by R.L. Peterson
Such a lovely collection of Christmas stories to warm your heart and remind you of the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Each story was written by a different author in a different decade, but they all tie together in Homewood, and some even have r...
A Homewood Christmas
After seeing that this is one of the author's favorite stories in her huge collection of Christmas stories, I was prompted to read it this holiday season. I'm glad I did! This is such a sweet Christmas story! I love all of the connections built aroun...
A Little Christmas Gift (Christmas Collection)
These are some of the Christmas stories from the Little House books. They aren't exactly like the originals because they've been adapted, but they are very close. I love being able to read about the Christmas events of Laura's life without having to ...
A Little House Christmas: Holiday Stories
This is a short story, only two chapters long, but it is sweet and something different than your usual Christmas story. My only complaint is that I wanted it to go on longer.
A Long Christmas by Isabella MacDonald Alden
This book had been sitting with our Christmas books for a few years, and I finally picked it up and read it. It was fun. This collection features Peanuts Christmas comic strips from the 1950s to the 1990s. The simple pleasures, ideas, joys and wishes...
The Joy of a Peanuts Christmas: 50 Years
I had read the first part of this story in Seize the Night collection, and was eager to read the rest of it. I enjoyed it even if Isabella’s personality is nothing like mine and I had a hard time relating to her. The setting and carols and the messag...
A Perfectly Imperfect Christmas by Katja H. Labonté
This little story, first published in 1939, is one that I love. Little Sally Tucker wants to get her mother something extra special this Christmas, but what? In reading over her mother's Christmas list with her sister, they discover 'a quart of judgm...
A Pint of Judgment by Elizabeth Morrow
Such a sweet story! The big-family chaos was perfectly spot-on, and I loved the kindness and understanding of the police officers, not to mention the focus on first responders in general. I also loved the way the family found to show their gratitude....<3 Two thumbs up! ~ Review by Angie, a reader
A Police Force for Christmas (Christmas Collection)
Enjoyed reading this.
A PONY FOR CHRISTMAS: A Montana Holiday Novella
A lovely story. A bit different than other stories by Isabella Alden as this one mentions Santa Claus, but it was still good.
A Ten-Dollar Christmas by Isabella Alden
I liked Addy and her willingness to help others even when she and her momma had so little. While there isn’t a lot of details in the story about what it was like to live as a freed slave in a northern state, it did give a bit of a picture. But it was...
Addy's Surprise: A Christmas Story (American Girl)
Even though this story didn't seem to have much Christmas in it, I did enjoy it. I mean, a homeschool girl who starts her own sewing business, who has dyslexia, and who comes from a larger family–that's not your typical story. The characters were all...
Always and Forever: Swanson, Cathe: 9781949412123
A rather fun story about how some of the Amish celebrate Christmas. The illustrations are good, and I found the story interesting to read but wouldn't call it a favorite.
An Amish Christmas
This story always makes me tear up a bit because it is so heartwarming. A lovely Christmas story about the importance of friendship. I love how Laura saw the "invisible" child in need, and while she couldn't change his living situation, she made a hu...
An Invisible Thread: True Story of 11-Year-Old Panhandler
This is a lovely Christmas story. The setting was done in such a way that I could almost feel the cold and wind. I almost felt the hunger and the misery. While this is a short story, the characters were well done for the most part. A few of the side ...
An Old-Time Christmas - Kindle Edition
These stories fill in missing decades of Homewood. You’ll find old friends, meet new friends, and enjoy the holiday season once again with love, family, and Moravian stars.
Another Homewood Christmas
A wonderful Christmas story set in Norway! While it begins in the summer, most of the story takes place later and ends at Christmas time. I love reading about Christmas traditions in other countries, and this author does a great job of taking you on ...
Arne and the Christmas Star: Norway Story
Eeeep! This was adorable! I didn't grow up with cousins, but there are some close family friends I can imagine having a get-together like this with. And I could totally understand Des being a bit overwhelmed at first. :) And the tiny, lovely little r...<3<3<3 100% winter fun smothered in sweetness with just a dash of adventure = a perfect Christmas story.

At the Christmas Lodge (Christmas Collection)
I've enjoyed Morris' writing before and did so again! I read this while eating lunch and it was a sweet short story of Old Marley and Sonny in a mining camp. Old Marley has taken Sonny in and wants to give him a proper Christmas. When Sonny wants a C...
Because of a Christmas Tree (Christmas Collection)
This short story pulled me in to its little world. I loved it! I teared up a few times near the end. Rebekah made the most of every moments in the story. I enjoyed the fact that we got the POV of both brother and sister, and it had such an amazing st...

Because of Love by Rebekah A. Morris
Well written, with interesting characters is how I would describe this collection of short stories. There was a recurring theme in each and every one of these stories: the military. (Though the last story had only a side character, and he was only th...
Behold: Short Stories Honoring the Savior
This story was touching. It was simple yet complex. It kept my interest and left me at the end with a smile. While not long, I felt like I had come to know the characters fairly well during the short time. I really liked the message of moving on and ...
Bespoke: A Tiny Christmas Tale by Amanda Dykes
This is a short and cozy Christmas read! It starts off very lonely and forlorn, but then...well, you'll just have to read it for yourself to see what happens. The story doesn't exactly tell what happens in the future after Christmas, but it leaves it...
Bessie's Candles - Morris, Rebekah A.
The cover is what pulled me in to read this story in the first place, because I'm not really a fan of fairy tale re-tellings (or fairy tales at all). But I had read a few other stories by this author and decided to go ahead and try it. I was pleasant...
Beyond the Horizon by Jesseca Wheaton
A fun, short story. Not much to it, but then it isn’t very long. While there’s not really much about Christmas, it does take place on Christmas Eve. It is told in first person present tense which isn't my favorite style, but it didn't bother me too m...
A Blue Coat by Courtenay Burden
This story is by my favorite author. Christie is going to ride on the train for the very first time in her life on Christmas Day because, after all, it is her birthday and she was invited to spend it in the city with her uncle. The train ride wasn’t ...
Christie's Christmas
This is a board book for the very youngest ones and tells the story of the first Christmas. A good way to introduce the little ones to the real reason for Christmas.
Christmas Angels: Read and Share (Tommy Nelson)
I very much enjoyed this story as it wasn’t just people being obsessed with “A Christmas Carol.” I really liked that Charlie realized that he couldn’t change anyone, only God could change them, but that also didn’t mean he should just sit back and do...
Christmas Carol Society
This is a nice addition to the Moody series. The children all come together, in spite of the obstacles, to make this a very special Christmas for a young neighbor boy. I really enjoy the interactions between the siblings. It's nice to have a book whe...
Christmas Comes to Sunflower Short Story
What a lovely story! It really shows that it’s not the money that goes into a gift that counts, it’s the love. I had a smile on my face when I reached the end. It might put some idea into a child’s head of what they could do for someone without money...
Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl S. Buck
This book lifted my spirits over the melancholy holidays. I look forward to reading it again the next Christmas season - maybe even before then. ~ Review by Amy, a reader
Christmas Day Joyous - Morris, Rebekah A.: Books
Three short WWII Christmas stories--individually and collectively 4 stars. :) I think my favorite part of each of the stories was seeing how God worked through accidents, problems, and "coincidences" to put people in each other's lives at the exact t...

Christmas Delays & Other Short Stories
Okay, this was too darling for anything! I loved how the whole flurry of unplanned activity centered around the backdoor! Loved watching the family give as well as receive. (Oh, and the church's tradition was wonderful! We need to start something lik...<3 Definitely a new Christmas favorite!

Christmas Eve at the Backdoor (Christmas)
This is a fun look at all the work and time that goes into growing Christmas trees. A grandmotherly lady decides to start a Christmas tree farm and enlists the help of her young neighbor. I really enjoyed their relationship and how eager Parker was t...
Christmas Farm: Holiday & Christmas Reading
This book was filled with a lot of heart and at the center of it, the true light of the season.I found that she brought a nice western flair to this short story filled with family, a bit of peril, and lots of prayer. The ranch setting was described i...
Christmas in the Same Country (Christmas Collection)
When I first looked at this book, the pictures captured my attention right away and I had to sit down and read the whole story. Oh, it was sweet. And, yes, I wanted to cry! And I wanted to write a sequel to it. This is a book every story lover should...
Christmas Oranges: Linda Bethers, Ben Sowards
What a sweet Christmas story! I loved how each quilt has its own significance, even beyond what the maker intended or knew. Seeing the little hints into what the fabrics mean to the recipient was a really neat extra touch. I also enjoyed the descript...
Christmas Quilts (Christmas Collection)
Christmas Smiles was a cozy but also true-to-life Christmas story short enough to read in one sitting! I couldn't help but be drawn to Laina and her family from the beginning, even in the hurt she and her aunt were facing. Seeing this little girl and...
Christmas Smiles (Christmas Collection)
This was my favorite in the collection. I cracked up several times and I just know the author must have enjoyed writing this story. I was about half way through when I began to get just the smallest suspicion of who was responsible for the events tak...
Christmas Stalkings: a Christmas Noella
Some of the stories in this collection are taken right from the pages of the Grandma's Attic books, but not all of them. There are also stories that you won't find anywhere else. I enjoy reading these stories again and again. Some of them bring much ...
Christmas Stories from Grandmas Attic
While I'm not too fond of the illustrations in this book, the story is worth reading. I really liked how the son struggled with seeing the reason for their move and the reason for the problems that came, but in the end he could see it was all worth i...
Christmas Tapestry: Polacco, Patricia
Oh, this story! I had read and loved “A Dog Named Christmas,” and when I found out there was another one by the same author about the same people, I was excited! There is so much heart to this story. George McCray remembers back to the Christmas time...
Christmas with Tucker (A Dog Named Christmas)
I loved the aspect of a police officer's widow running a coffee shop and ministering to the other members of the police force and their families. The importance of and dangers to the police officers is portrayed without being overly dramatic. And I s...
Coffee Shop Christmas by Ryana Miller
I started the first story with eager anticipation, as I had heard good things about this book. And I finished the last sentences of the second story glad I had read them.
Christmas in Gold I loved the two main characters. Each so different, yet each facing Christmas with their own struggles. There was love, there was a bit of excitement, and there was a hint of maybe a coming romance. Astrid's memories of life in Germ...
Christmas in Blue The moment I started reading about Angela, I wanted to hug her and offer my help. I could see the struggle she was facing and when things started to go wrong, well, I had to keep reading as that was the only thing I could do. And Br...

Once I got past the rather dumb train engineer who blew his whistle several times on a snowy mountain slope when an avalanche was starting (any noise can start an avalanche in the mountains, and if there is one starting, you don’t want to make more n...
Destination Christmas (Calico Trails Romance)
Though I'm not much for fairy tales or their retellings, I did enjoy this short story. It had a good message and was well told.
Distorted Glass: A Snow Queen Story
Right from the start I liked Erik. I mean, a boy who pauses in a race to be friendly to an older man no one talks to, is the kind of boy I enjoy reading about. The rest of the characters are a delight too, especially Linnea, and eventually Bertil. I ...
Erik's Christmas Camera by Alta Halverson Seymour
Even though it wasn't a favorite, this was still a nice, short story. I think I had a hard time connecting with the characters because it was told in first person, present tense. I'm not a big fan of that way of telling a story. There was a bit of th...
Esther Ashton's New Dress
This is a touching Christmas story that made me smile and blink back a tear. It was short but good.
Everything: A Christmas Reminisce by Erika Mathews
Chaos on Christmas Eve but a good story.
Faithful & Joyful - Kindle edition by Morris
This is different than most Christmas stories as it takes place on an island. I enjoyed the different setting. The fact that the supplies, Christmas trees, presents and things had to come from the mainland gave the story a unique feel. Interesting fo...
The Faraway Christmas: A Story of the Farallon Islands
Another delightful Christmas story! When I heard that Amanda was writing a new Christmas story, I was eager to read it. There hasn't been a single story by her that I haven't enjoyed. This one was no exception. The songs, the cookies, the snow . . . ...
Finding Christmas Joy by Amanda Tero
What a sweet, little story! The ending made me tear up. I enjoyed the close-knit big family, especially how sweet Papa was portrayed. Cleaning their big, new house actually sounded like a lot of fun! I did really connect with the lonely feelings of m...
First Christmas in America (Christmas Collection)
Though short, this story carried a powerful message of encouragement. I so wanted to befriend Janet and give her a hug. There was some action and excitement, and Patrick and Brian showed up! My only complaint was that I didn't want the story to be ov...
For My Good: A Christmas Short Story - Kindle
This book is so full of hope, glad tidings, touching scenes, and wonderful characters. I know I'll be reading all of these stories over and over. Some of them made me smile. Others had me reading through tears. While I love the stories, they are very...
Glad Tidings: Flash Fiction Advent Calendar

Go Tell It eBook : Morris, Rebekah A.

Great Joy by Kate DiCamillo, Bagram Ibatoulline
Such a sweet story with a touch of suspense, danger, and a perfect ending. Hannah doesn't make an appearance until the very end, but the story wouldn't be without her. Even if the parents didn't do right at the start, they repented and are trusting G...
Hannah's Angel: Women of Valley View, Book 7
This was a very cute, very short story. I read it in about ten minutes. A charming read for children with a very good message. My one complaint was that I wanted to know more about the children, both before this story and after it.
Hartly Manor by Amanda Tero
Drawing from a little known time and area of American history, Rebekah Morris weaves a wonderful story with threads of life's contrasts. Light and dark. Surprise and shock. Love and hate. Knowledge and mystery. Trust and worry. Fear and peace. The ch...

His Law Is Love: Morris, Rebekah A.

Home for Christmas (Christmas Collection)
I love this story. Magda just makes me want to hug her, and I’d be happy for her to look at my car. It was fun to have Magda so interested and knowledgeable about cars and how they work as that’s not something I’ve seen often (if ever!). Vi and Jim a...
Home Forever: Thompson, Angie
I was expecting a rather light Christmas story with some good parts and some romance. I was not expecting it to be so deep! It was good, just not what I was expecting. Alyssa tugged at my heart, and I wanted to hug her and tell her that even though s...

Christmas Compass - Alta Halverson Seymour
A lovely collection of three stories. The first two are Christmas stories and the last is set during winter.
Kate’s Choice – Short, but touching. I liked Kate and her love for her family and her desire to make a special Christmas for Grandma. What Love Can Do – This is a sweet story. A reminder that no matter how little a person has, there is always someone who has less. I loved how the characters decided to work together to make a happy Christmas for some children.
Gwen’s Adventure in the Snow – Fun, even humorous at times, this story takes place one winter afternoon. The adventure was well done without being overly dramatic.

Kate's Choice & Gwen's Snow Adventure
I’ve enjoyed each of the Kate’s Case Files books, and this one was no exception. Kate became even more likable in this story, and I really enjoyed watching her open up more. There were a few times when some of the characters bugged me, but that’s to ...
Kate's Christmas (Kate's Case Files)
A short but heartwarming Christmas story. There were a few times I found it a bit hard to picture the setting, but the characters were well done. It’s not often I read a story set in Germany after WWII, so that was interesting. There was one euphemis...
Kind: a Christmas short story of post-WWII Munich
I remember loving this story as a child. There was excitement and Christmas and a surprise planned. I enjoyed learning about St. Lucia day. It is just as much fun rereading it now that I am so much older. The interactions between Kirsten and her cous...
Kirsten's Surprise: A Christmas Story
Perfect for anyone who loves dogs and just enough excitement to be fun but not scary for younger ones.
I think I like this story as much as my nephew does. There's excitement, danger, and love, all mixed with a warm cozy feeling, and wonderful pictures! It even has the true story of Christmas woven into the pages. Even though this is a children's pict...

Lighthouse Christmas by Buzzeo & Carpenter
This story starts just before Christmas, takes you through the holidays, rushes you through the year, and returns you to the next Christmas. I laughed over some things and wondered how everything would turn out. It was better than I thought it would ...
Missent, The Story of a Letter
I love the characters! Molly and Anna are so cute and real. I was so glad Aunt Lacie was like she was! I was half afraid she wouldn’t be as nice. But, oh, I wanted to tell her a few things! I’m glad Jared was there to do that for me. The setting was ...
Molly and Anna eBook by Holman & Bryant
I grew up reading the “Molly,” “Kirsten,” and “Samantha” books, so this was very nostalgic to reread. I liked Molly and her family. Jill was a bit annoying at first, but then you saw how she was also struggling and hurting, and I liked how she and Mo...
Molly's Surprise: A Christmas Story, Book 3
I really liked this story. The fact that one of the characters was dealing with chronic pain made it even more interesting as I don’t usually find stories like that. The gentleness and care Gabe had for Shanée was cute. I loved the family dynamics an...
Most Wonderful Time (Lewis Family): Shiloh, Toni
This is a short little story but a fun read told from the perspective of a young girl writing in her diary about Christmas. I enjoyed the family, the letters, and the message behind them.
Nellie's Christmas Letter by Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott
This is a very short short. But the message is touching, and Noelle is just so sweet! The family is going through a difficult time, but Noelle doesn’t think of herself. All she wants to do is bring happiness to Mama at Christmas time.
Noelle's Gift by Amanda Tero
This was a sweet story. Yes, it happens at Christmas time, but no, there is not a lot about Christmas in the story. But I still enjoyed it. I liked that the author did include Bible verses that actually fit the story and weren’t just thrown in. The c...
Not Until Christmas : A Christian Romance
I liked this story. Even if Leah bugged me a few times by trying to fix everyone, she does learn that she can’t fix people; only God can do that. Austin was struggling and dealing with a lot. And Jackson tugged at my heart. The message of “even if” w...
Not Until Christmas Morning: Christian Romance
This is a delightful book with some touching, humorous, and sweet stories.
O Come All Ye Faithful – tells the story of the Christmas truce of 1914 during the first World War. It was well written and very clean. A touching look at a bit of history.
Peace on Earth – Oh, Emmie and Elana! I had a bit of trouble telling these two apart, but perhaps I was reading it too quickly. Or perhaps it's because they are twins. (My best friends are twins, and I had no trouble telling them apart, but I grew up...
Silent Night – I had to chuckle over this story. It began so startlingly that I had to reread the first few paragraphs just to make sure I had read it right. I had. Along with the laughter, I felt a bit of sadness over Fay and was glad Jenna was will...
The Gift Goes On – This story was sweet even though not much happened except reminiscing and opening gifts. But the message was good, and you got know the characters a little just from their conversations.
O Christmas Tree – This might have been my favorite of these stories. I just loved Gareth and his enthusiasm over getting the family Christmas tree. Nothing could dampen his spirits. I was left with a strong desire to go decorate a Christmas tree mys...

Once Upon a Christmas: Inspirational Romance
After attempting to read a few other "christian" Christmas stories, I tried this one. It was a delightful read! Very refreshing to have the characters actually praying over their troubles and seeking the Lord's direction. I loved the whole "are our g...
One Last Christmas by Ruth Kyser
While I found the illustrations a little strange for my liking, the story was touching. No, the real reason for Christmas isn't mentioned, but I love how one plant and two children inspire an entire apartment to celebrate Christmas even during a war.
One Splendid Tree by Marilyn Helmer
This is a very lovely, short story. It was a perfect length because I only had about 30-45 minutes to read. The characters were good and real, the descriptions were good. I was starting to get cold while reading it. And the end . . . Very satisfying ...
Our Christmas Bear: A Family Christmas Story
Most Christmas stories are about wonderful events and happy times, but this was a little different. Told in wonderful rhymes, this is a story about a normal family with real life struggles. Not enough money, bills due, the gingerbread house breaks, a...
Perfect Christmas - Bower Arts
Not a single word is in this story. But the pictures tell a fun tale of a family at Christmas time. So many little details–like lost mittens–in the story. Quite fun to make up your own words for the story if you were "reading" it will children, or ev...
Peter Spier's Christmas! - Books

Pieces on Earth: Christian Christmas Novella
Such a delightful story of a Christmas in Nebraska. Told from the perspective of a girl whose mother is a doctor, the story is simple, but sweet with a good reminder that the best Christmases are when you help others. The illustrations were good, and...
Prairie Christmas by Van Steenwyk & Himler
This was a fun read. The “ghosts of Christmas” were quite interesting and made me smile a few times. I would have liked to have joined in the fun of doing something each day with a Grandma like Ms. Carol. I liked Natalie, and Hunter, and the rest. We...
Project Scrooge – Christian Author - A.M. Heath
Oh my word, what a sweet story!! I loved it so much. Mercy was such a loveable, pathetic character and I loved the Coopers so much! Even Sally sounded wonderful, and the little boy was darling. I just loved the message and the setting and the storyli...
Providence Christmas (Christmas Collection)
A heartwarming Christmas story. I loved the feel of the old shop and the description of Old Joey. A very short story, but adorable. I just wish it were longer and I could find out about little Maggie's family and what Old Joey did at Christmas.
Red Boots - Kindle Edition by Kate Willis
If you are like me and love history and real stories, and Christmas and old-fashioned ads, then this is a book for you. I loved getting to read all the memories and stories of Christmases from the 1930s-1960s. The pictures added charm, and there are ...
Reminisce Christmas: Kastello, Julie
A short, but fun visit with Emily Abbott. And Brent. The idea of Christmas in August was fun, and this short story had me smiling many times. (Added enjoyment because the author took a book I’ve read and turned it into a Christmas movie. I could tota...

This was such a sweet, warmhearted Christmas story, full of the true meaning of Christmas, family, healing, and forgiveness. I loved the brother/sister relationship and the message of the story. And the motorcycling was an added delight. ~ Review by ...
Running Away from Christmas eBook
This is such a fun Christmas story. I love the town where all the businesses have Christmassy names, the children and their persistence, and Miss Christmas! The story gives a clear message about the true meaning of Christmas, that it's not all about ...
Saving Miss Christmas by Rebekah A. Morris
I was quite excited when I heard another group of authors was coming together to write Christmas stories. I had already read some stories by a few of these authors and enjoyed them, and since this collection was supposed to feature the true meaning o...
A Voice in the Night - This was an interesting story. It kept me reading, and while it didn’t feel very Christmasy, it did have enough to give me the feeling of Christmas time. It does deal with drugs and gangs, and, yes, some of it felt a little ove...
Too Young for Christmas - This story went back and forth between the past and the present. There was a good message in it, and I liked the characters, but I never felt like I really got to know anyone very well. Perhaps it was the way the story was w...
Salt Cookies - A fun little story. It made me smile. And enough Christmas stuff to feel Christmasy.
Everly After - I liked the characters, the story, and the plot, but I couldn’t find Christmas in it. No decorations, no mention of the first Christmas, nothing. But I still liked the the story. It just wasn’t what I would consider a “Christmas” story...
Her Unexpected Rescue - I felt sorry for Isabella. It would be hard to have a Christmas like she was expecting. Or not expecting. Anyway, I liked the messages in this story, and the characters. I loved seeing the snow and the problems that can cause....
Unconditional - When I started this story, I had a completely different picture of Laylah and Levi’s relationship, so the sudden announcement over half way through the story was a little jarring. Perhaps I should have picked up on a hint earlier, but...
A Heart without Christmas - So sweet. So enjoyable Even if it takes place in the middle of a war. I smiled a few times and felt a few tears at once point. And all the Christmasy things and feelings made it even better.
Despite the Odds - The idea was great, and the struggles of trying to get home for Christmas make an interesting plot, but unfortunately the historical errors made me not enjoy it like I wanted to. [ Why would the army send a troop ship from Europe a...

Seize the Night
This story is so sweet and touching and heartwarming and all wrapped up with love and Christmas lights and a wonderful message. I loved each one of the characters. The writing style was well done and pulled me into the story. And the ending was so sp...
Sharing Christmas - Burden, Brianna: Kindle Store
Though only a few chapters in length, this is an enjoyable story. It's not your usual Christmas story since Sidney is alone in the city and far from his family, but Christmas isn't just about what you get under a tree and big dinners.
Sydney Martin's Christmas (Classic Reprint)
This story is about giving back to others. The pictures are delightful, and the story is based on a real "Christmas train." While written as though telling a story and not living it, it is still good and an interesting tale of Christmas time and how ...
Silver Packages: An Appalachian Christmas Story
This was such a delightful story! I loved Jessie from the start even if I’m not the quiet introvert she is. Her personality really shone, and it was fun watching her grow in just the short span of the story. The rest of her family members were deligh...
Sincerely, Jem by Kate Willis
Have you read any of the Windy Foot books? If not, you can jump right in with this one. This Christmas story, heartwarming, fun, exciting, lovely, is one I read every Christmas. We didn’t have it when I was younger, but after we got it, it’s been a p...
Sleigh Bells for Windy Foot by Frances Frost
This story was wonderful. I loved the old fashioned style of writing. The story of heartache and trouble at Christmas time and the reminder of Christmas was so well done. Each one of the characters interested me, and I found it easy to picture the sn...
Snow-Globe World - Kindle Edition by Burden
Such a delightful story! It was short, but not too short. The characters were well done and left me wanting more about them. And the Christmas feel was perfect! It wasn't overdone, nor was it just a side thing. There was one euphemism used. This is o...
Some Christmas Camouflage: A Short Story - Books
This story is one I already knew about, but I enjoyed reading it. It was a little hard to keep the characters straight at first because some showed up in a group, but it wasn’t bad. I liked how the author included the real meaning of Christmas and sh...
Stille Nacht: True Story of Elisabeth & Fritz
Though written for younger readers than me, I enjoyed this story of the Moody family when they've grown older. Moses is now 12 and the main character. There was some laughter and some exciting moments, all wrapped up with a wonderful ending. I plan t...
Sunflower's Christmas Miracle
Enjoyed this story again. I guess Gloria isn't someone who dislikes cats, only someone who likes dogs better, otherwise I think the story would have been different. :) I'm not a cat person either, so I understand the main character’s problem. But thi...
The 12 Cats of Christmas
Cute children's country story told in rhyme as the animals in the barn retell the first Christmas story. Lovely pictures.
The Animals' Christmas Eve: Nativity Book
This is a children’s chapter book about a family in Ohio celebrating Christmas of 1890 along the National Road. Jason’s family has lived there for generations, and he enjoys the traffic along the road. The story is told in first person which could be...
The Bells of Christmas by Virginia Hamilton
This is a story from my childhood. Told in first person by a girl, it narrates a different kind of Christmas pageant–one filled with Herdmans. ("The Herdmans were absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world.") It certainly gives a fresh per...
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: Holiday Book
I love this story! Having heard or read it every Christmas for as long as I can remember, it has become a part of my Christmases. Carol Bird, who was born on Christmas morning, plans and makes a special Christmas with the help of her family and Uncle...
The Birds' Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas
This is such a heartwarming story. It takes place in a rural area of the US in the winter of 1917 during the first World War. The characters are so real, from the mail carrier, to the little boy, to the schoolmistress, and all the others. Each one ha...
THE CANDLE IN THE WINDOW (RARE COLLECTOR'S SERIES)
Short, sweet, and oh, so Christmasy! I love the candymaker and his little granddaughter. The message is wonderful and the pictures–adorable!
The Candymaker's Gift
I love Christmas stories that are about real historical events. This one is about the Christmas trees at the Rockefeller Center and the Great Depression. Lovely and delightful, this is a good story to share with kids.
The Carpenter's Gift by David Rubel
Okay, I have to say I liked this one. It was nearly purr-fect for Christmas. (Sorry, but someone had to say it!) The tie-in with "12 Cats of Christmas" had me smiling, as did Mia's search for gold fish crackers. A cat with coffee? I can only imagine!...
The Case of the Very Bad Cat (The Kitten Files)
I enjoyed this story. I liked the characters and was glad the “disappearing act” didn’t last long. I was afraid when it happened that it would be most of the book. Thankfully it wasn’t. I loved the grandparents! And I wanted to go visit their little ...
Christmas Bride (Grace Livingston Hill #62)
When I first started this book I wasn’t sure if I would like it because Sarah was so selfish! She didn’t call it selfish, she said she was doing it all for God, but her actions and words said otherwise. I really wanted to tell her a few things she se...
The Christmas Card (Christmas Card Series)
What a sweet Christmas story. It was written by a woman who grew up on a Sioux reservation and her special Christmas. I loved the emphasis on putting others first even when you need something as much or more than the other person. The illustrations w...
The Christmas Coat: Memories of My Sioux Childhood
This story is so darling! I love the fact that it's a poem. And the pictures are wonderful! The story is of a boy who gets a collie for Christmas. The years go by and the boy and dog grow up together. I won't tell you the ending but it is so sweet an...
The Christmas Collie: Paul, Ted, Kummer, Mary
I so enjoyed this story! It was full of characters who were real, and I expected I could drive over and meet them. Betty's imaginings of her neighbor reminded me of my own imaginings of people and things, (though I don't believe what I imagine and sh...
Christmas Dog, The: Carlson, Melody: 9780800718817
My heart goes out to these two sisters, and though the beginning is a bit hard to read because of the harsh conditions, the middle of the book begins to warm things up, and by the end a cozy feeling leaves me satisfied. There really aren’t any “magic...
The Christmas Doll by Elvira Woodruff
The setting of a small village in southern France was delightful. And the characters! Michel and his love for his grand'maman was so sweet, and I understood and sympathized with the problems he faced of trying to get a Christmas gift for her without ...
The Christmas Donkey by Alta Halverson Seymour
I got this book because the idea of hiring children for Christmas to make the time more festive sounded fun. And the beginning caught my interest. Then the first two chapters were pretty much just backstory telling the reader all that had happened, a...
The Christmas Hirelings by Mary E. Braddon
I wasn't sure if I'd like this story or not seeing as it was the first I'd ever read by this author, but right from the beginning I was pulled in and so enjoyed it! An older woman (86) convinces her younger neighbor to go on an RV trip along Route 66...
The Christmas Joy Ride eBook : Carlson, Melody
This was a very sweet little piece of Christmas historical fiction. Chester and Lizzie were such a nice couple, and Ron was a dear, while Frank was very amusing to dislike and had a great arc. The plot was well done, and ended with a twist I didn’t e...

The Christmas Key (Christmas Collection)
This is Adorable! With real photographs!
Christmas Kitten by Janet Konkle
The message of this story might be hidden if you don't pay attention, but it is there. It is a story of how God can use even problems and troubles to change the lives of others for the better. Even though this was a short picture book, I found myself...
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
I really enjoyed this story (once I figured out that George wasn't 18–why I thought he was 18, I'm not sure). Lucy was so sweet, and Grandma and Mama were real. I could picture the small town, the country farmhouse, and even the old car. Though not s...
Christmas Pony, The by Melody Carlson
I usually go into a book by a new-to-me author with some reserve. But this book soon sent that reserve out the window as I enjoyed each new scene and character. This was such a dear story. No, it wasn’t very long, nor was it a typical romance. Instea...
The Christmas Postcards by Julie Carobini
This is a heart-warming Christmas story about a family who immigrated from Puerto Rico. I love how 10-year-old José wants to give his mother a present for Christmas and how he works hard to get it and keep it a secret.
The Christmas Secret (Joses's Christmas Secret) by Joan M. Lexau
The Christmas She Wanted was a satisfying tale of learning to enjoy a special Christmas complete with the simplest things of life. In a world often overwhelmed with busyness, gadgets, and distractions, where are the things that matter - family, frien...
The Christmas She Wanted
This is a child's version of the first Christmas story. Much of it is almost right out of the Bible, but it was shortened so that even young children could understand it. Eloise Wilkin illustrated this book in a lovely way.
The Christmas Story by Jane Werner Watson
This is such a charming story full of warmth and love. These children, Peter and Trudi, aren’t going to just sit around and feel sorry for themselves because they had to leave their home village and go live with an aunt who hasn’t much money. And Chr...
Christmas Stove - Alta Halverson Seymour
I really like this story! The pictures are beautiful, and the story Grandpa tells is actual history! There really was a Christmas tree ship that carried Christmas trees to Chicago.
The Christmas Tree Ship by Carol Crane & Chris Ellison
As always, this Reminisce book is filled to the brim with real stories! The only difference is, this one is all Christmas stories! From the first page until the last, I delighted in memories of past Christmases told by so many different people. There...
The Christmases We Used to Know (Reminisce Books)
(If not for the first story, I would have given this collection a full 4 stars.) I have never read any of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s short stories, so I picked this up with interest. I almost didn’t keep reading though after the first story. It was awful...
The Red Room - Do NOT Recommend. Awful! Adultery and a murder in this short thing. Ugh. Not what I would think of as “Christmas”.
A Christmas Mistake - A mistake that leads to forgiveness. Made me smile. Though I do wonder how on earth such a man could teach!
A Christmas Inspiration - Sweet. I love the girls and what they did.
The Josephs’ Christmas - I love how all the children didn’t mind not having money; they were going to give gifts anyway.

Ida’s New Year Cake - I liked Ida, even if I had my doubts about her at first.
The Christmas Surprise at Enderly Road - A good way to spread cheer and mend old feuds.
Clorina’s Gifts - A good reminder of what really matters to others. The Falsoms’ Christmas Dinner - I’m still not quite sure how certain things could all have vanished at once if it was only one person, but no matter, things worked out just fine.
The Unforgotten One - Touching and sweet.
Christmas at Red Butte - I knew it! I just had a feeling, and it made me smile when it happened.
Uncle Richard’s New Year’s Dinner - Such a fun little story. And I liked Uncle Richard.

Lucy Maud Montgomery: Complete Christmas Stories
This is an adorable story of some little girls preparing and having a Christmas party for their dolls. It’s so cute especially with Tasha Tudor’s charming illustrations. This is perfect for any little girl who likes dolls. I always wanted to have a p...
The Dolls' Christmas (Tasha Tudor Collection)
Seeing God’s hand in orchestrating the events of history to give us the Greatest Gift is amazing. This book walks you though the “Jesse Tree” as you follow the line of Christ up until His birth. It’s written as a book to read one chapter a day during...
The Greatest Gift: Full Love Story of Christmas
I’ve heard of the legend of the candy cane for many years, but this children’s picture book is a delight. The pictures are beautiful, the story is simple yet well told, and I’m reminded every time I see a candy cane, of the story behind their white a...
The Legend of the Candy Cane: Inspirational Story
A sweet Christmas story that reminds us of the real reason for Christmas. I like the illustrations and how the family used the legend to make their own Christmas tree extra special. Recommended for families.
Legend of the Christmas Tree, The
This story is such a delight to read! I love each of the children who work so hard to help their mother who has to go out at night to clean, and who take care of one another. I enjoyed the stories they tell each other as they work together creating d...
Lion in the Box - Marguerite de Angeli
Great Christmas mystery for even the timid.
The Old Mansion's Secret: A Christmas Story
This little book has 3 stories in it.
The Quiet Little Woman Such a tender story. Patty is an orphan and so sweet. I wanted to take her home with me and shower her with love. I was glad when Aunt Jane does–something. (I can't say what or it would give the story away.) Altogether a deligh...
Tilly's Christmas I can't decide if this one or first story is my favorite. I absolutely loved Tilly and her kind heart. Such a sweet, little Christmas story!
Rosa's Tale This is my least favorite of the 3 stories. I'm just not fond of stories where the animals talk. In this one the horse tells her story to someone on Christmas Eve. Yes, the girl listening does say she might have dreamed the whole thing, b...

The Quiet Little Woman: A Christmas Story
This was such a lovely and delightful story! I loved the small town feel, the nosy, gossipy neighbors who think everything that happens is there business, the pastor's wife, and Letty. And Dick and David, though I had to think to remember which was t...
The Romance of a Christmas Card by Kate Douglas Wiggin
This is such a wonderful story about doing for others. The pictures are so beautiful and the whole idea of the Sparkle Box such a lovely one that I want to do it with kids of my own someday. It's also a good reminder for older children, young people ...
Sparkle Box: A Gift to Change Christmas
This is a story I grew up listening to my mom read aloud many times, but it has been years since I’ve read or heard it. This year I listened to it on Librivox as I worked on a project and was reminded just how good it is. While not exciting or anythi...
The Other Wise Man
A fun Christmas story set in Ireland. As most of this author’s Christmas books, the story starts before Christmas, but there is so much about the traditions and fun of Christmas that the other part is only a leading up to Christmas. The characters we...
The Top O' Christmas Morning by Halverson
This is my favorite of favorite Christmas stories! I have read it or heard it read each Christmas for as long as I can remember. There is just something special in the sweet simplicity of 7-year-old Vickie Austin telling the story of her special Chri...
The Twenty-four Days Before Christmas by L'Engle
This isn’t a book you read through from cover to cover. It’s an encyclopedia. It’s so much fun though! You’ll find all things Christmas in here. Christmas movies, books, plays, carols, traditions, and more. There are illustrations. There are differen...
The World Encyclopedia of Christmas: Bowler, Gerry
The first time I read this book, I almost cried. The second time I read this book, aloud to my niece and nephews, I almost cried. I still get a bit choked up reading this tender story even if it is written for children. There is something just so spe...
The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree: An Appalachian Story
A very sweet, short story. A good message about Christmas. I'd write a longer review, but the story is too short to do that.
This Child: A Story of Redemption
This story was sweet and hard and delightful and touching all at once. I loved getting to spend time with all the characters from the other two books in the series again. It might not be your typical Christmas story that’s all bows and candles, but g...
Through the Darkness by Sarah Beth Brazytis
Such a lovely yet deep story. It wasn’t very long, but it tackled the hard topic of wondering if there is ever going to be an end to sadness and pain. I loved getting to see the characters again and visit the church for another service. And I like th...
Snow-Globe World and Through the Veil: Burden
A prequel to “The Red Heart Cafe."
This was such a blessing in many ways! I loved Ford Merrick's character from The Red Heart Cafe and really enjoyed getting to know his family better. This story was a Christmas story, but ultimately a gospel story as Ford and his family minister to t...

Tidings Bringing - Morris, Rebekah A.: Books
While this story is told in the form of notes from one side of the river to the other, I was able to picture the setting, the characters, and felt like there had been much more in the story than had actually been written. It was very sweet, and the e...
Tin Can Serenade by Amanda Dykes
This was such a delightful Christmas story! It wasn't long, but I enjoyed it all the way through.
To Make a Merry Christmas - Kindle by Mathews
I loved this! The story told with the cadence and style of the poem "Twas the night before Christmas" is simple yet so sweet and lovely! I really liked the artwork too. This would make a great Christmas book to add to any collection with the real Chr...
Twas an Evening in Bethlehem by Jenelle Schmidt
A charming story of a man who used to be a slave trying to make a special Christmas for his loved “massa and missis”. Old Job added humor and fun. I chuckled a couple times. The ending was nice and happy. There were some swear words, not many, but I ...
Uncle Noah's Christmas Inspiration - Books
A dear little Christmas story.
Unto Him by Rebekah A. Morris
This was a lovely story. It was really two stories; it was about two different Christmases but about the same people. I enjoyed both of them. They had a fun, old-fashioned, Christmasy feel to them, and I would have enjoyed them even more, I think, if...
When the Yule Log Burns - A Christmas Story
I found it interesting that each "story" was written by a different author. It gave an added feel of each sibling being unique and different. My favorite was the first story, but I liked the other two a whole lot also. The added touch of a short chap...
Where Treetops Glisten: 3 Stories of Courage
A lovely allegory. The Christmas chimes only ring when the greatest and best gifts are offered. This little story is a good reminder of what such a gift looks like.
Why the Chimes Rang
I enjoyed these short Christmas stories. The plots and characters were unique. I'm not sure which of them was my favorite, perhaps the last one because of the ending, or maybe the fourth story because I could feel with the main character, but they al...
Wind Chimes: Christmas Story Collection by Victoria Minks
