In Dickens and Christmas, Lucinda Hawksley presents the reader with the social history of Christmas along side the personal history of Charles Dickens. The book explains where many of are modern festive traditions originated from we also learn where Dickens inspiration for many of his festive tales come from. This book would make a ideal Christmas gift for the love one who love Christmas and Charles Dickens.

A Christmas Movie that wasn't afraid to dig a bit deeper than most Christmas films I've watched. I was quite impressed and I will definitely be adding this one to my list to watch again!
  
Are you looking for a book that may bring the meaning of Christmas home to children through the eyes of a Christmas Tree? Bruce the Spruce: A New York City Fairytale About the True Meaning of Christmas Trees is excellent. Children will learn about the true meaning of Christmas Trees.

We meet Bruce the Spruce, and he wants to be the attention of the crowds. Will he learn a lesson and what he did for this job to learn his lesson in gratitude? We follow him on his journey from when he was taken and put on to the street to where he ends up.

Children will learn about being grateful and what you cherish. Will Bruce understand what it means to be a Christmas Tree? I enjoyed how this book ended; Children and parents will love this book. The author did a fantastic job with the plot of this story. The pictures are well done. I just loved how Bruce reacted and showed his emotions.

This book is excellent to have on your bookshelves for the holiday season. This book should be read close to Christmas or leading up to Christmas. I show the meaning of Christmas to children and adults as well.

IMO, this is the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol. One, the Muppets are always great. The music is perfect, and the choice of which Muppets to put into which roles was great. Michael Caine is my favorite Scrooge. This is definitely one of my favorite Christmas movies.
  
Found Helena in A Christmas Bride a little hard to like - mainly because she didn't like herself. Christmas Beau was a real heart warming tear in the eye sort of story - perfect for this time of year!

Lovely short novella

A good christmas story, this story takes you back to just after the civil war ended. Around christmas time a younge wife was just about giving up the hope of ever seeing her husband again.
