Christmas gifts – books!
So did you receive any fabulous books for Christmas? My family knows to expect books from me- occupational hazard, I guess! I pick up gems throughout the year, then try to decide who is going to be blessed with my choices. My nieces are doing rather well at the moment, with all my favourites for early childhood – which delights their mum – a preschool teacher! and they love it too!
One of my favourites received this year is ‘1001 Books to Read Before you Die‘ – but there are so many I have to catch up on!!! I just had to buy ‘ Possum in the House‘ by Kiersten Jensen for one niece, and I sent a copy of ‘Aussie Night before Christmas’ by Clement Clarke Morre, to friends in Ireland – to remind them of home and Christmas in Australia! (the postage nearly cost as much as the book, but it was worth it!). (Hi, Melissa and Paddy!) And a copy of ‘Kochie’s Guide to Keeping it Real‘ seemed a worthwhile stocking filler for the man of the house, who seems to think it’s all about him anyway! And another niece received a guide to digital photography which I must remember to borrow it sometime soon!
How do you choose books for Christmas gifts? What was the best book you have received as a gift and why? And be honest, how many books did you pick up for yourself during the Christmas rush? (I bought one on making charm bracelets – but it was in the post-Christmas sales!)
