Christmas holiday reading suggestions are out! Read more to see a wonderful collection of Christmassy material.

The cold weather and the more relaxed pace of life during the holidays will bring opportunities to enjoy a good book, I hope. Here are some reading suggestions: they are mostly recently published Christmas-themed stories (except the J.R.R. Tolkien). 

For more ideas, check the Advent Calendars linked below and the Reading Suggestion Lists, always available on My School Portal under the Library menu. 

Wishing you all a very peaceful Christmas,
Mrs Brill
