A Storyteller's Holiday
And that's just to name a few! We must not forget when we celebrate this holiday season to also celebrate the authors who've brought us the magic, miracles, and joy that make this season so special. What are your favorite holiday stories?
I won't be posting again until Monday~sorry no Creature Feature this Friday. I'll make up for it next week though! Have a wonderful holiday everyone.

Sure, there'll be a creature feature : the grinch who stole Christmas and Friday's post! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you a rest of the week that sparkles with magic, love, and peace. Roland
LOL! Yes Roland, the Grinch who stole Friday's post, I love that! Thank you for the wonderful holiday wishes, right back at you.
ReplyDeleteFrosty the Snowman! Seriously my favorite! Thanks for sharing your great list. That's a beautiful picture, btw. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFrosty is a great choice Linda! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! For me, it's The Christmas Box. I cry every time I read it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas. I'll be back in a week!
Excellent choice Salarsen! I loved that book! How could I have forgotten it?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of stories. My kids love pulling out the Christmas stories to read all through the year. We probably read the Grinch a half dozen times throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas my 6 year old daughter has decided to try and memorize The Night Before Christmas just for fun. She's actually pretty close to having it all down, which is awesome considering she did this all on her own. :)
Have a fabulous Christmas!
You know, there were a few Christmas-y picture books I liked, but I can't remember what they were called! There was also this awesome Hanukkah book that my friend's mom would read to us in elementary school. I know it's award-winning, but of course, I can't remember what it was called, either. Serious fail, right?
ReplyDeleteBUT. My favorite FAVORITE picture books were Halloween books. Whose titles I also cannot recall.
My goodness--sorry for this completely useless comment!
Happy holidays, though! :)
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI will definitely miss your creature feature... it's the highlight of my week!
Christmas is a good reason. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and exciting Christmas filled with all the love you deserve. Christmas is all about love. We bloggers share that every day with each other in our posts and comments.
Let's hope the New Year brings us that much closer to our goals and to meeting each other at conferences or workshops.
Happy, Happy, Holidays, Heather ... The four H's! lol

Okie, that's awesome that your six year old is memorizing The Night Before Christmas! Good for her! And the Grinch is one of my favorites too. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Don't feel bad Shayda, this time of year has that affect on one's mind! Happy holidays to you too. :)
ReplyDeleteSo true Michael, we do share the spirit of the season every day! That's part of what makes the blogging community so fantastic. I'll toast to a great new year which brings us closer to our goals!
I LOVE The Polar Express and fortunately my girls do, too. We've already watched it this week and I hope it comes on again before Christmas (hmmm...I really need to get the DVD).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas!!!
My favorite Christmas story is A Christmas Story. It grounds me and reminds me what the holiday is all about.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Heather! (and my fingers are still crossed for you with the agent :)
We like Polar Express and Frosty out our house.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday and see you soon!
Me too Melissa! It's one of my favorites. In fact, I think we're watching it tonight!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting! And you're right - holidays are the perfect time for storytellers. :-)
ReplyDeleteJulie, so true, that one is what it's all about. Thank you so much for keeping your fingers crossed for me. That means the world to me, truly!
ReplyDeleteLydia, excellent choices! I love Frosty too and I haven't seen it in so long. I kind of wish they'd remake it and do a great job of it! I hope you have a wonderful holiday too!
That they are Shannon! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteYou have a terrific list of favorites...I'd also add The Littlest Christmas Tree.
ReplyDeleteHave a delightful Christmas, Heather.
Love,
Lola
I think you've hit all the holiday favorites. I will miss your creature, but will be flying with a few of my own. Happy Holidays! Be safe and find the spirit... wherever you are!

Hands down it's the Grinch! LOVE that story. Merry Xmas!!
ReplyDeleteLola, that's a great one! Thanks for reminding me of it! I hope you have a great holiday too!
ReplyDeleteKarlene, I'm so sorry you have to fly over the holidays. I've not doubt the crew and passengers will appreciate your good cheer though!
Lisa, excellent choice! You can't go wrong with the Grinch! Merry Xmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteEvery year I make a big deal out of the book The Snow Tree (by Caroline Repchuk) at school. Highly recommended if anyone's looking for a picture book. Merry Christmas, Heather!

ReplyDeleteThank you Amie, how sweet! And you're very welcome. I hope you have an excellent holiday too! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great stories! One of my kids' favorite things to do around the holidays is break into the basket of Christmas books. Slowly we work our way through them all and then read our favortes a few times over--it's a big basket! :o) And it makes for great cuddle time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great holiday, Heather!
Jackee that sounds like so much fun! What a wonderful tradition! Thank you, I did have a great holiday. In fact, now I have my own basket of books to work my way through... ;)
