The Jolly Christmas Postman – Janet Ahlberg 
  
An interactive Christmas book, the Jolly Christmas Postman delivers letters to several famous fairy-tale characters such as the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella and the Three Bears. Containing letters, cards and more, this wonderful book lets children discover what the fairy-tale characters are sending to one another for Christmas. 

The Night Before Christmas – Clement C Moore 
  
A well-loved Christmas poem (and one of Rudolph’r favourite due his his starring role!) The Night Before Christmas details the visit of Santa to a family. Before flying away he wishes everyone a “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” 

The Nightmare Before Christmas – Tim Burton 
  
With a different flavour to the others in my selection, this book puts a creepy twist on the Christmas festivities. With plenty of freakish presents and a skeleton dressed in Santa Claus clothes, it makes for a fabulously spooky holiday story!
