I love a classic! A Christmas Carol is a classic favourite of mine!
Leigh-Ann from Toronto,ON. Always enjoy Polar Express during the holidays.
Sara – WINTER SOLSTICE by Elin Hilderbrand. Ok, so this book is new but I really like it so far! It’s about the Quinn family living at Winter Street Inn, and it’s all about the different family dynamics which play out under one roof. There’s a character by the name of Bart Quinn whom I particularly like; he’s come back from his tour of Duty from Afghanistan and deals with being back under the family roof. All in all, a good family story and it was great to read it, especially for this time of year. Kinda hits close to home.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The March sisters planning and facing Christmas during a time of need against the backdrop of the civil war and without their father – always a great holiday read. Vancouver
Edel from Vancouver.
Harry Potter is always a favourite at Christmas.
Charmaine Gomes – Winnipeg MB.
Mine would have to be Little Women

Sara from the Washington, DC chapter. I’d say Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris!
Hi I’m Shannon from Winnipeg chapter of GBC. My favourite Christmas book/short story is “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Andersen”.
Little House on the Prairie – Catherine from Richmond Hill
I am such a romantic sap that I usually go for quantity of christmas love and miracles…so I binge on Harlequinn and Silhoette romances around Christmas themes! Snowbound with unexpected babies arriving and one major character is a scrooge persona needing to be taught the meaning of christmas! I am with the Richmond Hill Chapter whom I miss terribly right now since I haven’t made the meetings lately 🙁 ! Btw..wore out 2kobos already so a new one from Santa via The Girly Book Club would brighten my christmas ALOT!!! Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
Victoria Kulbick from the Houston Chapter – picking a holiday book is hard! I’d say either Little Women or A Christmas Carol
Being in the southern hemisphere, my christmas holidays are in Summer. Nothing beats a cold cider on the beach and a good book 🙂
If I have to pick a christmas themed novel, it would definitely be The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett ????
-Wellington, New Zealand

I am a member of the Richmond Hill GBC. Over the years of reading for myself, to my children and grandchildren there have been many great stories around Christmas, too many for me to pick just one. All were enjoyed though.

The Grinch! -Andrea, Toronto
How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Theresa V in Ottawa
My favourite holiday book, honestly: Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy.
The recurring themes of winter and coldness make me feel at home, Bit of a tragedy, but it balances out the pumped up festive mood of everything else that I indulge in during the holiday season.
I’m a member of the Richmond Hill chapter.
Jenn Johnson – Hamilton GBC. Harry Potter always. So much magic.
I have never been a big fan of Christmas, even growing up, so I think it is appropriate that How The Grinch Stole Christmas is my favourite book, as I feel like my heart is growing to like Christmas as I get older….and I am older…..sigh….
Amie-Toronto Group
I’m in the Richmond Hill Chapter. I re-read Harry Potter for Christmas. I thought it was weird, but by the comments I see I’m not alone. It’s good to know I’m not the only one. :p

A great read is ‘With love at Christmas’ by Carole Matthews. I’m Eileen and with the Melbourne girly book club.
Hi, I’m Sarah from NYC, and my favorite holiday book is, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” because my dad would read it to us every Christmas Eve. It was a cloth book with a bell on it and after he finished, he would wait a few mins and then go up to the attic and stomp around and ring the bell, as if Santa had already arrived and we better get to sleep!
A few years ago, my sister and I bought one of those recording books from Hallmark and had my dad read it through while we recorded him on Christmas Eve. Now we’ll always have his voice to listen to ❤️
