The days leading up to Christmas and beyond are perfect to snuggle into a warm blanket with a warm drink in one hand and a good Christmas story in the other.
Here are four locally authored Christmas book you can enjoy now.
All four are available on Amazon.
The first three are also available at The Book Market in Crest Hill.
The first two are also available for immediate reading on Kindle.
The last is only available in print on Amazon.
So although that fourth book may not arrive in time for Christmas, it's still sweet reading for the holiday season.
And if you'd like more local author suggestions, check out this list I assembled in late 2019.
And remember, even if you don't want to read the books yourself, you can make the holidays brighter for a child who does.
Happy reading!
