What are some of your favorite spiritual and/or secular holiday-themed books?
Jenn S. I loved TWO FROM GALILEE by Marjorie Holmes, as it gave the Nativity story from Mary's perspective. It showed her both before and after, and gave you a 'taste' of what her home life was probably like. It really made the story more "real" for me.

Joy Hertzberg A REDBIRD CHRISTMAS by Fannie Flagg

Av Mary Higgins Clark's holiday mysteries.

Dawnymae A REDBIRD CHRISTMAS by Fannie Flagg. It is so good, poignant, and goodhearted, how can you go wrong!
I also enjoy THE CHRISTMAS BOX by Nicholas Evans. He always does a good job with his Christmas stories, but this is my favorite.
Topping it off is right to the source, read Matthew and Luke in the old testament!
