Laina asked: 2000 or laterish would be preferred. It’s for my book review blog. I’m going to be doing a theme month for December and I only have a short list so far. I want lots of option in case I don’t like some of them, and I don’t want to use any I’ve already read.
Here’s what I come up with:
From my to-read list:

Christmas Wishes by Debbie Macomber
When Christmas Comes -//-
Snowbound by Lindsay McKenna, Cara Summers & Laura Marie Altom
Once Upon a Christmas by Lisa Plumley
(YA)
The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Catherine Hapka
Kissing Snowflakes by Abby Sher
Ex-Mas by Kate Brian
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle
From Online:

My Brother’s Hero by Adrian Fogelin
The Tricksters by Margaret Mahy
Jingle Boy by Keiran Scott

Other - Holidays Mrs.Bieber asked:
My family and I are thinking about getting away for Christmas and going to Hawaii for the holidays. We’re not sure about what the weather is like there though. We are looking for somewhere tropical and warm. I would appreciate it very much if someone could help us.

Other - Holidays Laura asked: There are the obvious ones: Handel’s “Messiah”, Puccini’s “La Boheme”, Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors”, the “Christmas Oratorio” by Saint Saens – even Rimsky Korsakov’s “Christmas Eve” (which actually fits into the category of what I’m looking for). But I am specifically looking for pieces that are not performed often. They can be chamber works (meaning, for orchestra and a few voices – although I suppose quartets and the like would be ok as well), operas (1-acts preferable, but not required), Oratorios, or whatever. I’m not looking for individual pieces so much though.
I seem to recall that there’s a French piece based on the story of the 3 kings? The name escapes me at the moment.
Basically, I’m looking for the rarities. And if you have links to recordings, so much the better.
THANKS!

Other - Holidays Be True ? Yourself asked:
Me and my Family were talking, deciding what can we do for our Christmas Break and we were thinking NC
I would like to ask if NC would be a good place for vacationing, we live in Florida so the ride is not so far, it snows there in the winter, so i was thinking it would be great!
Please give us more directory such as hotel (maximum people is 3) restaurants, attractions, etc..
Thanks
John
