What's in my bag?

 Some of my favorite Christmas books, of course!
(and you probably thought it was yarn ;-)

 That silly, troublesome monkey we all cannot help but love...

 ... the sweet old-fashioned illustrations and crafty goodness of Susan Branch...

 ... more beautiful illustrations...

...and a heart-touching Christmas tale....

There are many more books that bring Christmas home for me, but these were some that were a bit further off the beaten path. I bring them out each Christmas and since my bookcases are perpetually full, decided this year to use my Christmas tote to keep them all handy yet prettily out of the way. I had initially intended to use the tote for my stocking crochet project, but found this a sweet change of pace. 

Hope you find some time to snuggle with a good Christmas read!
