Is anybody ready for Christmas? I am already in the mood for Christmas. Preparations are underway in my house. Buying new glittery clothes, food, presents, sending out cards, making lists, arranging a big family eat, and putting up the Christmas tree in the living room are all underway. Everything is looking and feeling festive.
This year, the annual event of the Christmas Light Switch-On in my city was carried out by Sheila Ferguson, Three Degrees lead singer the Sunday just gone. No, I wasn't there. I heard there was a good turnout though. Now we can officially start counting down to Christmas but in the meantime, here is a list of Christmasy books - for the twelve days of Christmas - which I have compiled that might help you and me wind down during this busy time, or it may make for some great Christmas gifts to family and friends.
Merry Christmas 2011, booklovers.
MY CHRISTMAS BOOKS LIST 2011:
1) The Night Before Christmas by Scarlett Bailey
(Synopsis: All Lydia's ever wanted is a perfect Christmas... So when her oldest friends invite her to spend the holidays with them, it seems like a dream come true. She's been promised log fires, roasted chestnuts, her own weight in mince pies - all in a setting that looks like something out of a Christmas card. But her winter wonderland is ruined when she finds herself snowed in with her current boyfriend, her old flame and a hunky stranger. Well, three (wise) men is traditional at this time of year.)
