Christmas fiction recommendations

[tooglamtogiveadamn]

What has been your favourite Christmas fiction book? I'm talking warm, festive, merry, well written... I have yet to find the perfect story to curl up with a mince pie with during the xmas build-up. I feel duped so far as have often fallen for the publisher's ploy of a nice christmassy title/cover only to find out thay it is not about Christmas at all and the title has just been changed for a winter re-release. Bah

Miss Read wrote some lovely Christmas books. No Holly for Miss Quinn is the only title I can recall atm but there are others. I reread them most years.

The two that have stayed with me and that I will definately re-read are The Snow Child and Lost Christmas. Lost Christmas made my best afternoons reading this year, done in 3 peaceful hours, it is a kids book but enjoyed it so much.
