Waiting for Christmas is a special time when you really want to believe in a miracle. It's good if a snowball crunches under your feet, your cheeks are rosy from the frost, garlands illuminate everything around and joy overwhelms. But if there is no mood, you don't want a holiday and you can't believe in a miracle, then you urgently need to create a mood for yourself! You can arrange a marathon of festive movies and cartoons. And it is no less interesting to arrange a book trip for yourself. Our selection of books will be an excellent guide for you.
1. "Little Match Girl" Hans Christian Andersen
Probably, even the most cynical, hard and indifferent person will have feelings after reading this fairy tale. A little girl on New Year's Eve is looking for warmth and comfort, but people refuse her this, because who is she for them? Just a little girl in rags. The baby is forced to warm up thanks to a small box of matches, but there is no sense from them on a winter night. The end will not leave anyone indifferent, leaving behind a number of questions, mostly beginning with the word "Why ...". The girl froze not because of the frosty weather, but because of the icy attitude of the surrounding people, it was they who killed her with their cruelty. This very childish fairy tale makes everyone think: the world in which we live is very, very cruel. And we just have to make it better, starting, of course, with ourselves.
2. "The Tea House on Mulberry Street" Sharon Owens
A classic example of English children's literature is this book. A lot of characters, their stories, their lives.. Of course, everyone will end well, everyone will be happy. The main thing is to believe and wait. When reading this book all the time I want to drink litres of tea and eat delicious cheesecakes. It is this atmosphere that is worth reading such books!
3. "Hogfather" Terry Pratchett
This book is a really humorous fantasy. Here, Christmas turns into a Scary Christmas, and Santa Claus turns into a Hogfather. The whole book is filled with unusual characters and events. Both children and adults will enjoy it because here you can sincerely laugh and sincerely believe in a Miracle.
4. "Christmas Books" Charles John Huffam Dickens
The world-recognized classic collection of holiday fairy tales. And Dickens is the case when reading classics is not boring at all. These stories will be interesting both in childhood and in adulthood. Touching and instructive, they always remain in the heart.
5. "A Redbird Christmas" Fannie Flagg
A fine example of modern American prose. The main character flees from himself and a terrible disease to a small town. He is looking for peace, but he will not find anything like this here, because the city is filled with riddles and magic. A kind and sincere fairy tale.
Which of these books have you read and which one would you like to read? I hope you enjoyed this post. Happy holidays! Merry Christmas!
