One I read every ...I love to read Christmas books. One I read every year for a while was Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. I also love the Best Christmas Pageant Ever. (When Immogene sings "Son of God, loves pure light" it gets me every time.) I try to find a Christmas mystery if I can. I have read the original Christmas Carol. Loved it. I really wish I could think of some more.<br /><br />You know I have never read or seen (other than clips) The Miracle On 34th Street. I need to get that book and read it. What a time that will be.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-21306640877694288952012-11-17T20:14:41.319-05:002012-11-17T20:14:41.319-05:00Best Christmas Pageant Ever-church drama ministry ...Best Christmas Pageant Ever-church drama ministry performed it two years in a row.<br /><br />Gift of the Magi-always a sweet story.<br /><br />A Christmas Carol- I like the ORIGINAL (1950's) version of the movie.<br /><br />The Handmaid and the Carpenter by Elizabeth Berg.
