Christmas Days: 12 Stories & 12 Feasts for 12 Days

Christmas Days: 12 Stories & 12 Feasts for 12 Days is by Jeanette Winterson. A collection of magical short stories all revolving around Christmas. Some of these selections are creepy ghost stories, "The Second Best Bed, "A Ghost Story;" others deal specifically with the special magic of the Christmas season "Spirit of Christmas" and "The SnowMama." They are all worth reading. The stories are interspersed with Winterson's remembrances of past Christmas celebrations and the food associated with each memory. Some of the recipes are definitely worth trying. A magical way to prepare yourself for a magical season. You can try reading one story of day, but will find it hard to stop at one.

Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10.
