Three gorgeously sexy, romantic Christmas stories to spice up your winter nights! ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - by Olivia Harvey Sometimes the best presents just can't wait to be unwrapped .... Ella is dreading Christmas. She vowed to change her life this year, and although breaking up with her boring boyfriend was the first step, she's been too scared to take the next. But then, when working at a Christmas party, Ella meets Joe. The attraction is instant. And, as the snow piles up - and Ella and Joe's clothes come off - Ella realises that maybe all she wants for Christmas is Joe after all... LAST CHRISTMAS - by Harriet Reuter Hapgood It's the sexiest time of the year ... Incurable romantic Candy is determined to ace her big end-of-term Cambridge essay, but with a classful of emos and a professor keen to see her darker side, she is going to need a crash course in misanthropy. Cue the posting of an ad looking for a professional pessimist who can help; and cue the appearance of gorgeous Scottish Jamie one snowy Cambridge night, who is surely the one to give her lessons in being cynical - and maybe lessons in something else too ... UNDER THE MISTLETOE - by Kate Kingsley Kissing is just the beginning... New Yorker Ness is decidely not thrilled at the prospect of spending time with her dad in the English countryside over Christmas. Spending the festive period with a bunch of sheep and cows is not Ness's idea of a good time. Until, a major distraction presents itself in the form of Dominic Dumont. There's something about him that Ness just finds irresistible ... the only problem is, he's arrogant, selfish and reckless. Or is there more to Dominic than meets the eye?

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

Short stories by Olympia Vernon, Robert Olen Butler, Mary Ward Brown, and more that look at Christmas from unexpected angles. While Christmas stories are traditionally sweet, not every holiday memory generates a feeling of ease, merriment, and plenty. In the capable hands of twelve of the best writers in the South, Christmas is a season not only of traditions and family, but of sacrifice and endurance, loneliness and faith. The stories in this anthology embrace the rich and varied aspects of the Christmas season, upholding family, forgiveness, and love as virtues of redemption. A divorcee finds strength in an artifact from her childhood in “Queen Elizabeth Running Free,” while an elderly couple struggles to find comfort in “The Cold Giraffe.” From Elizabeth Spencer’s “Carrollton Christmas in Olden Days,” recalling warm family memories of a particularly cold holiday, to Mark Richard’s “The Birds for Christmas,” wherein a bleak and difficult Christmas is endured by two boys in an orphanage, the stories in this anthology exemplify the best that Southern fiction has to offer.

It is fair to say that something is always happening at Santa’s home; from naming day parties, experimental toys or playful and mischievous reindeer, something is always happening. Whether it’s little Oscar sneaking down to Santa’s fridge for an extra bowl of his magical ice cream which is sprinkled with fairy dust and seems to glow and say to Oscar, “eat me, eat me now”. Then there are the tricks Rudolf gets up to so he can get a few extra carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, completely forgetting about the side effects of exceptionally smelly botty burps that lots of Brussels sprouts and cabbage give the reindeer. Then there are the mishaps in Santa’s toy workshop such as when a young apprentice elf decides to put some of Santa’s magic flying dust for his sleigh on a toy airplane she has made. The airplane goes on a flight around Santa’s workshop, stables and home causing all sorts of trouble, particularly in Santa’s kitchen where cook is in the middle of making one of Santa’s favourite ice creams, raspberry ripple, where the raspberries seem to swim the ripple saying, “catch me if you can”. And what about the efforts that the young elves get up to in finding out if they are in Santa’s good or naughty book? And then there’s the book containing all the good children’s names along with the presents they have waiting for them at Christmas.
