- These must be Christmas novels, books about Christmas lore, a book of Christmas short stories or poems, books about Christmas crafts, and for the first time...a children's Christmas books level!
- visit this POST for a list of new Christmas books for 2012. There are a lot of good ones coming out this year, including the new Richard Paul Evans novel, A Winter Dream (I just got it yesterday!).
- Levels:
--Mistletoe: read 2-4 books
--Christmas Tree: read 5 or 6 books (this is the fanatic level...LOL!)
Additional levels:

It is s a collection of stories that are Xmas-related of happened in X-mas. Most of them are not intttended for children. For example, the OHenry stories mention murder attempts. The tale "El Rey Baltasar" is about a moral issue that has no solution.
Great stories that fall apart from the Childish Xmas "sweetness" :D
