A Bluestocking Knits

"What with Christmas coming and all…" Booking Through Thursday asks about our holiday reading —

1. Do you read Christmas-themed (or Hanukkah, or?) stories this time of year? If so, what kind? I don’t purposely read holiday stories, except for Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which we often listen to in Patrick Stewart’s audio version at this time of year.
2. Do you have any stories you traditionally read this time every year? If so, what? How did your tradition start? To be honest, we have more "traditions" in movies than in books — "It’s a Wonderful Life", one of the many "Christmas Carol" versions, or "A Christmas Story"!
