2. The Spirit of Christmas by Nancy Tillman
‘The Spirit of Christmas’ by Nancy Tillman is one of the best reads for all ages and especially for children. It is an inspiring book that tells about the real essence of Christmas, despite all Christmas decor and pomp. It is also an amazing thing to search for the Spirit of Christmas that the author has creatively hidden on each page. The book also emphasizes on the importance and value of love, as it rightly puts, “Remember, this all began with a child. Because it took nothing but love to begin it, it’s not really Christmas if love isn’t in it.”
3. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’, tells the story of a short-tempered old Scrooge who just cares about his business’ bottom line. On Christmas Eve, some influencing ghosts visit him, who makes him take stock of his life. He feels bad at what he sees and the next day he is a different man.
