I like to reread the John Grishom one that Christmas with the Kranks was based on (I can't recall the title of the book but it was So much better than the movie) and I love watching White Christmas every year (along with Rudolph!).Jill Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296890779922143900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-45851810212894805992012-12-02T21:13:07.599-06:002012-12-02T21:13:07.599-06:00I'm surprised you managed to not read or view ...I'm surprised you managed to not read or view it for so long.

My favorite Christmas story? Well, the original is pretty darn good--as Joel Fleischman put it in Northern Exposure--you've got a baby, a star, animals--what's not to like? Apart from that one, I've always loved Gift of the Magi and A Christmas Carol, and the chapter in Pickwick Papers where Pickwick and the boys celebrate Christmas. <br /><br />janetgs05-at-gmail-dot-comJaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-13170912137321765312012-11-27T16:28:49.746-06:002012-11-27T16:28:49.746-06:00I have this wonderful book and I love it.

The first time was when I was 11. My parents got me tickets for my birthday. We almost didn't get to go because it started snowing hard (we lived in Michigan), but we made it. It was wonderful! I'll never forget that first time seeing it. I also got this book for review and I can't wait to read it. I'm hoping I can get my boys to read it with me.Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-79658872430325581852012-11-26T22:22:10.849-06:002012-11-26T22:22:10.849-06:00No need to add me.
