What do you read in the run up to Christmas?

[bedelia]

I love to read wintry and festive books at this time of year, so looking for recommendations.

Things like The Box of Delights, The Nutcracker, or ghost stories with a cold-weather/festive theme (just finished reading The Silent Companions, which was wonderful!).

I could be tempted by some non-fiction too. I'm love to get Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicles, though it does come with a rather hefty price tag. Does anyone have this, or could recommend something similar?

What do you all enjoy in the run up to Christmas?

Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicals is really good,lovely to read.

I’ve just read Murder for Christmas - it’s a good vintage who-dunnit. Not exactly full of cheer but it manages to feel quite festive despite the murder!
