Tis the Season to be Felty
When this book came out in 2015, my daughter and I had so much fun! We made the Beaded Star Baubles (p 17), Dove Ornaments (p 23), Sweet Treats (p 43), Mini Gift Garland (p 73), and Mistletoe Sprig (p 75). Wreath is on my to-do list!
Knit Christmas Stockings
There is nothing better than a hand knit Christmas stocking! You can stuff more goodies in them, of course.

The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg
This book is charming, delightful, and uplifting! In the novel, an elderly widower, a troubled teen, and a busybody neighbor become friends. I laughed, I cried, I was touched! Bonus, if you enjoy this book, check out the two sequels.
My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde
The main character Anton is so easy to like! He has a kind heart, an ability to love unselfishly, and a great sense of humor despite the trauma and struggles of his life. Follow Anton and Edith, who is 15 years older, as their friendship and love spans over 55 years.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens & Illustrated by PJ Lynch
The story of Ebenezer Scrooge opens on a Christmas Eve as cold as Scrooge’s own heart. Will Scrooge’s heart be opened? The story’s message of love and goodwill holds as true today as it did at the first publication in 1843.

NOW That’s What I Call Music Christmas Classics
