Christmas with Anne and Other Stories by L.M Montgomery is very sweet and Christmasy:) And also The Shoe Box by Francine Rivers. Jostein Gaarder also has an amazing Christmas book, I think it's called the Road to Bethlehem or something.

There's a book that I've been wanting called "Christmas at the New Yorker" - it's a collection of Christmas stories that have ran in the New Yorker. It also includes Christmas covers, poems, and cartoons.
I don't own it yet, but it's on my Christmas list because it seems like a really cute and festive book to read around Christmas time.

Didn't J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a christmas story collection or something? And Mika Waltari has christmas book also. I read for english class years and years ago a book called 'Deck the Halls' which was a crime story, two dumb criminals kidnapping some kid. And of course 'Christmas carol'

J.R.R Tolkein wrote The Father Christmas Letters. I have that on my shelf waiting to be read next actually.
I just read The Christmas Candle by max Lucado and really liked it!

I'm going to start The Christmas Books by Dickens next week, it's been waiting on my shelf for years, I guess it's finally time to read it.

I´ve read The best Christmas Pageant ever by Barbara Robinson, one of my favorite children´s book. Not too traditional (except for me personally )

Christmas at the New Yorker sounds really cool! It's now on my list as well.
And how could I forget The Father Christmas Letters?! I love that book, and it is so cute to think that he wrote them just to entertain his kids.
