Visions_Of_Johanna: What are some favorite Christmas stories/novels you like to recommend?
Although I’ve never read Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, I’ve seen so many movie versions of it that I feel I know it like the back of my hand.

Some other favorites are Truman Capote’s “A Christmas Memory”, Chekhov’s “Vanka” and Dostoevsky’s “The Heavenly Christmas Tree” (keep a box of Kleenex handy if you’re going to read that last one!).

What are some of your favorites?
