2024 Christmas Mini Reading Challenge

Christmas will be here before you know it, and often, the season comes and goes so quickly that we wish we had spent more time enjoying it in the moment. As with everything, we find books to be the answer! The more Christmas books we read, the more we’re in the mood to enjoy holiday activities outside of reading.
