As Christmas approaches, one starts to hear sleigh bells in the distance – and book lovers start looking for books that remind them of the festive season: the misty-eyed memories of holidays past; the joyous spirit of givingl and, of course, the difficulties that sometimes go hand-in-hand with family get-togethers and dinners.
Here, we revel in the books, classic and new, that capture the spirit of Christmas both as it's meant to be and as it really is, as we get in the mood for the most wonderful time of year.
