I'm dying to add to our Christmas book collection and can't wait to go hunt some of these great suggestions down. Rosalynde, I'm not sure how old your little ones are, but I have been reading "A Christmas Carol" to my girls (6 and 4) and they have loved it. I just read a few pages each night and my 4 yr. old sometimes tunes out a little, but my 6 yr. stays right with me. Thank you so much for doing this post, Kristine!

You will be pleased to learn that it is indeed online. Go to this site: http://www.lib.byu.edu/spc/byustudies/ which is the Harold B. Lee Library online collection. Do a search on "carol" as a title term and your article will come right up. You have to print it one page at a time, which is a pain. But at least it is there. You can send a link to all of your friends and loved ones as a Christmas gift. Rosalynde, actually I think I did read your article (I’m a long-time subscriber to BYU Studies).

Somebody posted once on how strangely French the Babar books are, and this one is no exception. My kids dig “Babar’s Chirstmas” year-round.

She has another Christmas story called "Welcome Comfort." In it, a school janitor befriends a persecuted, overweight boy without a family. Yet they can never spend Christmas together, because every Christmas eve the janitor and his wife go up North .... That was our addition to the Christmas story collection, this year. I recommend it wholeheartedly! Just for fun, try James Marshall's "Merry Christmas, Space Case." Especially if you have young kids who are into science, robots and space!

Part of my family’s longstanding tradition (which I’ll probably post about later) is the reading of The Other Wise Man. It’s a very good Christmas read.

It's breathtaking in every way, and I can't get through it without weeping. It's really, really wonderful.
