Hi everyone!

Because the holiday season is coming soon, I'm looking for christmas fantasy books. I read a few anthologies last year and I liked that a lot. But since I have run out of christmas fantasy books, I could use some tips. :-)

Last year's books:

Wolfsbane and mistletoe -- Urban fantasy christmas anthology. I liked this one.
Holidays are hell -- Another urban fantasy christmas anthology. I liked this one, too.
A very gothic christmas -- And another one. I wasn't impressed. At all.

I'd put Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol on the Christmas fantasy list. You can find it on gutenberg.org.

Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, of course.

#2 I know Dickens' A Christmas Carol, of course. :-) (Who doesn't?) It's a good one!

I'll check out the other two. Thanks!

I found The magical christmas cat. Does anyone know this book? Is it any good for non-cat lovers?

Please, keep them coming! :-)

Miracle and other stories by Connie Willis is a collection of her Christmas stories. It's a few years old and she has probably written more since.

This is a stretch, but Santa plays a critical part in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

#5 I've seen several adaptations, but I've yet to read it.

There is a delightful Christmas short story called "Jukebox Gifts" by Dean Wesley Smith in Volume 86 of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, or you can buy it for 99ยข here--

Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Smith or Amazon--I just love the story.
