This is a pretty nice collection for the Christmas enthusiast. It has a lot of different holidays short stories and poems. It also includes carols, a little bit of history, and a bit about Christmas traditions around the world. It would be one way to add in more holiday teaching to go beyond just Christmas-Chanuka-Kwanzaa (although these are only Christmas traditions, so you'd still need more- it's just nice to get an idea of Christmas around the world).
