Here are 5 books that I've loved during the Advent/Christmas season.
Christmastide: Prayer for Advent Through Epiphany from The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle
I've used this prayerbook for the past two years!
The Art of Advent by Jane Williams
This helps me in trying to cultivate my ability to be still, listen, and experience God through my sense and heart, and not just my head.
Pearl S. Buck's Book of Christmas
This short story collection is new to me this year since finding it in an antique store last year. Enjoying it so far!
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
This is one of our family read-a-louds this season.
Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl S. Buck, illustrated by Mark Buehner
C.S. Lewis sagely said, "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."
Bonus: Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar Capon
This is Justin's reading pick for Christmas (especially during the 12 days of Christmastide feasts). Technically this is more of a Lent/Easter book, but Capon has such a great theology of God's love for creation that it fits the Christmas incarnation celebration well. (This is also one of my favorite books of all time, and will be featured in the upcoming Top 5 Formative Nonfiction Books list.)

I had the opportunity to interact with the customer service team of The New York Times, and I must commend their professionalism and efficiency. The representatives were not only knowledgeable but also exhibited a genuine willingness to assist with my inquiries and you can also find customer service contact on https://new-york-times.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html . My concerns were addressed promptly, and the overall experience was remarkably smooth. Such a high standard of customer service enhances the value of their publication and reinforces my loyalty as a subscriber.
