ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tote! My favorite Christmas book is called The House of Wooden Santas, written by Newfoundland author Kevin Major and illustrated with a variety of carved Santas made by Imelda George who lives about an hour from me.

ReplyDeleteThank you for such a great giveaway!! I would love to read sheperds abiding. Love the bag babscorbitt@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove the bag. Thanks for the giveaway. I don't have a book that I read over and over but if I did I would do The Night Before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to all.
This may sound silly, but I read this book to my kids SO many times as they were growing up, that it's still my favorite. It's The Berenstain Bears Christmas! I would tuck it away and we'd bring it out with the Christmas decorations each year. I still have it!
ReplyDeleteYour bag is awfully cute - great work! Have a Merry Christmas yourself.
It is tough to choose Christmas books for children. Ours enjoy the Polar Express.
ReplyDeleteQuilts and Books! It doesn't get better than that! My favorite is How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being part of the hop! The bag and books are great. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteHello from Minnesota! My favorite Christmas books are actually the Laura Ingalls Wilder books...they have great descriptions of the food, homemade gifts, budgeting, parties and even an early Christmas tree. When I was little, we often got oranges (or fancier tropical fruit) in our stockings and so did little Laura - I always thought that was neat.)
ReplyDeleteLovely little purse. Oh, how I love books, too. I just got a wonderful book, vintage...The Fireside Book of Christmas Stories edited by Wagenecht (sp?) It has stories by Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell, Walter De La Mare, etc. We've been reading from it, along with the Scriptures. You and I must talk, Becky. I'm a retired genealogist with French Canadian and Indian background....no Acadians that I know of yet....please stop by when you have a minute. http://www.prairiecottagecorner.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove the tote, you did a great job. I don't have a favorite Christmas book, I usually don't have time to read this time of year. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThe Shepherd, the angel and walter the christmas miracle dog by dave barry is my favorite. That reminds me that i need to get it out to read again. I laugh out loud every time.

ReplyDeleteReally cute bag! I actually don't have a favorite Christmas novel. I haven't read many. The last one I read and enjoyed was A Christmas with Anne, a compilation of Christmas stories about Anne (Anne of Green Gables fame). That was a really sweet book. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI really like your giveaway. A colorful fat quarter tote would sure come in handy. I could run away and take some books with me - We both love Winter Soltice. Maybe a mug rug along with a thermos of hot chocolate and that book. The endless possibilities. Thank you for the chance to win and making this Party fun. Happy Holidays.
