Any recommendations for a Christmas read that isn't chick lit? Thanks! 🎄

Dave Barry has one. I can’t remember the whole name, Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog is in there somewhere.

Last Christmas in Paris: A Novel of World War I

The way my Gram is describing her current one, it doesn’t sound romantic. I think it’s called “Chasing Christmas” by Terri Blackstock. She said it is comical.

I’m currently reading a Cozy Mystery called Slay Bells…it’s a bit…interesting so far, I may or may not like the genre of cozy mysteries 😂😂 (not sure if it’s the book or genre I’m kinda meh about).

The bear and the nightingale

I read and enjoyed this one. It‘s corny at times, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Stupidest Christmas Angel

The Other Wise Man, by Henry Van Dyke. Copywrited 1895. Short story or novella. I am no longer religious, but this story can still bring tears to my eyes. It’s about what the season is about: love and compassion.

There’s some good Christmas Crime collections out, murder on Christmas Eve, mistletoe murders, murder under the Christmas tree

Pamela

Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

Randall

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

Other then A Christmas Carol the first thing that comes to mind is The Christmas Pig: A Fable by Kinky Friedman.
Whenever I see or hear chick lit I think of the gum.
