Grace,
If you're going to include books like Deck the Halls from Mary Higgins
Clark
and Carol Higgins Clark, then consider adding Visions of Sugar Plums by
Janet Evanovich. It's one of her Stephanie Plum novels which happens to
have a Christmas theme. A toymaker by the name of Sandy Claws is in
violation of his bond agreement, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum spends
her
Christmas trying to bring him in. As you can see, it's a bit whacky, but
then all of the books in this series are.
One of the J. D. Robb books also occurs at Christmas. In Holiday in
Death,
someone is going around killing people dressed as Santa Claus. Eve Dallas
must stop him before he commits the twelve murders of Christmas.
There's also a short story collection called Silent Night which has a
Christmas theme. It contains four short stories which are all supposedly
mysteries which take place at Christmas time. The only one without a
holiday title happens to be the one by J. D. Robb, but it happens to be
the
only one I read, and it does take place at Christmas.
Whether or not you include the titles above, Shepherds Abiding by Jan
Karon
needs adding to the list if it's not already there.
Gerald

Also don't forget
"He Sees You When You are Sleeping and
the other Christmas books by the Clarks.
I have Deck the Halls scanned and will submit it, not sure when.
Angels in the Snow is a cute one, I liked it,

Stacey:
Donna posted these a few weeks ago.
Also someone mentioned something about angels in the snow. Not quite sure
of
the title.
Hi all,
For those interested, just thought I'd post a listing of a few of the
Xmas
books in the bookshare collection that I know of that don't have Christmas
in the title:
Miracle, by Connie Willis. A really fun collection of Christmas short
stories.
Angel's Roost, romance novel involving an angel. Begins at Thanksgiving
and
goes through New Years.
Last Noel,Haven't read it but it sounded good when NPR reviewed it.
Shepherd's Abiding by Jan karon. Part of the Mitford series, Father Tim
takes on the project of fixing up an old nativity set.
These are just a few that I have come across. If I come up with more I'll
post them.
Happy reading,
Donna

Hi Stacey,
I just typed Christmas in the simple search and got 84. However, that
is
only the ones that have the word in the title. Except there is an
author
named Christmas Carol Kaufman so a book by her was in that list.
hth,
Sue S.
