Christmas is coming!

That means we will all smile a little bigger, gaze a little bit longer, and enjoy our friends and families. So what's better than reading the classics, both old and new, that personify this holiday season!

Whether you are watching the first snowflakes fall outside of your window, or sitting on the beach reminiscing about your childhood . . . Christmas is a very magical time of year.

Even the day after Christmas, we are all counting down the days until the Christmas season is upon us.

Is it the trees, or the lights, or the incredible smells, or the music — it's everything.

Christmas embodies happiness and hope and romance. And there is no better way to celebrate than to read the best Christmas books there are — whether it be zany adventures, wild Christmas outings, crazy family stories, suite romances, Christmas thrillers, and even a little bit of Christmas comedy!

We have compiled a list of 100 books — a bucket list of sorts — that we think most embody the Christmas spirit in a variety of different genres. If you haven't read these books, you have time to get started because no matter which day it is

. . . Christmas will be here soon!
