1 & 2
My all-time favorite grown-up Christmas books are:
- The Joyous Season by Patrick Dennis
- Skipping Christmas (aka Christmas With the Kranks) by John Grisham
Sadly, it looks like the Joyous Season has gone out-of-print again. Too bad. It’s so much fun!

You have some great choices on this list, Lisa. I loved Skipping Christmas back when I read it.

I love all these fun, festive covers! I’ve only read SKIPPING CHRISTMAS, which I actually didn’t love. I do really like the Christmas With the Kranks movie, though. It just makes me laugh 🙂 Jamie Lee Curtis never disappoints.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
