pickThis one is nonfiction with tidbits about British customs around the holiday. Light in tone, the book is nonfiction and mentions broad topics like Christmas trees or spirits and then follows up with short and often quirky stories from Brits who‘ve a family story or example of the custom. I was delighted, probably because I spent a semester in Wales in college during the season and have such a fondness for UK. Pictured w my very American holiday.
I‘m taking a break from Christmas presents to read a Christmas book. I‘m feeling fairly Grinch-y since oldest son‘s girlfriend of 6 years broke off their newly minted engagement and broke his heart. My mama heart cannot get beyond his devastation to be interested in Christmas stuff right now so maybe a book will help?
pickThis is not what I expected. It is nonfiction and discusses different aspects of Christmas such as food, music, and shopping. it was interesting and I really enjoyed the little stories throughout.

As a Yank living in the UK for the past 12 years I love these Very British books. Brits do celebrate Christmas a bit differently than us Yanks, Britsh Christmas celebrations are much more boozy lol. I do have to admit that the Brits make it better with Boxing Day 😀
