10 Holiday Books to Cuddle Up With This Winter

 
Winter is the best time to snuggle up with a good book. Below are some of my favorites to read during the Christmas holidays and all winter long.

1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

 A classic to read during the holidays, this book has been translated into so many great movies and similar stories. The original is always my favorite!

2. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

 Another classic that begins at Christmastime. I love to read this book during the holidays, but it's also a great novel for any time of the year.

3. The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore

I read this book every Christmas Eve. It's a simple and fun story perfect for the season.

4. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

This is a great book to read during the colder months. Enjoy the fantasy of escaping to a different world and going on some fantastic adventures!

5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

A truly cozy story to read around the holidays. Take up a seat by a warm fire and enjoy this classic romance.

6. The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen

Another classic winter tale. Read the original story that inspired Disney's "Frozen" and the snow queen herself in ABCs hit TV show "Once Upon a Time". 

7. The Shining by Stephen King

This is one of my favorites. I always loved the idea of an abandoned hotel up in the snow. This story is just spooky enough to keep you entertained during cold winter nights.

8. The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg

One of my favorite books and movies to watch in December. This is a great story for any kid or adult who still believes.

9. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

A must read during Christmas. I love this story about the sweet Whos of Whoville and watching the movies that the book inspired.


10. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

This is a fantastic story to read over a long holiday weekend. Protagonist Jane is a fun character to follow and root for as she proves society wrong about her.
