J.S. Scott author of The Billionaire’s Christmas:

I love The Gift Of The Magi by O. Henry. It's not exactly a novel, but a short Christmas story about the sacrifices a couple will make for true love. I think it embodies the spirit of the holidays and it's a short, sweet read.   

Nadia Lee author of The Billionaire’s Holiday Obsession: 

Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs. It's urban fantasy, and I really loved it.

Jessica Scott author of All I Want For Christmas Is You:

I think A Christmas Carol is a big one. It’s easy to get caught up in the mayhem over the holidays but it’s important to sometimes step back and remember that they’re supposed to be about family and friends and giving. I love the change of heart in that story.

Jill Shalvis author of Merry Christmas, Baby:

The Polar Express! Gah. Makes me cry every. single. time. Love it, always have. 

Rita Herron author of Going To the Chapel:

My favorite Christmas story is The Polar Express. We read it to our children every year. It’s not only a beautiful picture book but it portrays the spirit of the holidays.
