Please recommend me your best Christmas reads

[Justforchristmas]

As the title says really, I had a quick look in the works but was not inspired. Not into crime or thrillers. I am looking for a feeling good Christmas themed read

I love "High Rising" by Angela Thirkell. Very light, very charming.

Bit corney, but A Christmas Carol. Love it. Especially so since seeing the wonderful stage adaptation with the marvellous and much underrated, I think, Nicholas Farrell and equally marvellous Mark Gaitiss.
Read it several times over the years but with those two speaking the lines in my head, it’s even better.

Lots of ideas thank you

I have re-read this every yr without fail since a child (can get on ebay), also christmas carol. Anything by Trisha Ashley is lovely. Nigel Slater Christmas Chronicles - whole thread to read along with for this.

Another vote for a Christmas Carol. I've read it a few times but might look for an audio version this year. I've seen R4 had a Dickens Season about to start so they will probably have it on BBC Sounds.

I read Christmas on the island by Natalie Norman last year and really enjoyed it. Very Hygge and cosy as it’s set in Norway if I can remember rightly!
