Just like all sitcoms need a Christmas special, so does the Friday Fifteen. Onto the Christmas-iest in fifteen-word book reviews!

1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
It’s not Christmas if you’re not haunted by memories of your past.

2. The Case of the Magic Christmas Bell (Sweet Valley Kids Super Snoopers #2) by Francine Pascal
I wrote a complete rip-off of this when I was eight. Was only mildly ashamed.

3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
“…Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day” = one of the best lines ever.

4. Samantha’s Surprise (American Girls: Samantha #3) by Maxine Rose Schur
Victorians? Dolls? Paper snowflakes? I freaking loved this book in fourth grade.

5. A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas
Lovely writing, cozy Christmas feel–great read aloud. (Secretly want it to be about whales)
