Collection of Christmas books

For several years now, I have been collecting children's Christmas books; I suppose it's sort of a tradition.  I'm not really a collector of anything in particular, otherwise, but these books are special to me.  Every year, I put them out at Christmastime on display and read through a couple of them. 

After college, my parents started giving me one book each year as a Christmas gift.  They all have a special meaning.  My personal favorite is "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey."  If you haven't read it, you should.  The illustrations are truly beautiful.  It might make you cry, but it will also make you smile and appreciate the true Christmas story through the eyes of a child & a lonely carpenter.  My memory of this book goes back to my freshman year in college, when my junior roommate, Joanna (who was sort of our room mother and fit the part perfectly), read this book to me and my friend Ruth on our bunk beds one night before Christmas break.  I will always remember Jo for that moment of sharing.
