Beautiful quilts. My favourite is the Nativity, and I love A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – wonderful message.
This is a tough call…I love the Christmas Carol on stage at Interlochen Arts Academy each holiday. But can’t pass up The Charlie Brown Christmas…what great songs. And of course the Grinch who’s heart grew can’t be missed. An there’s the reason for the season story….can’t pick just one!
My favorite Christmas story is The Nativity story, followed closely by The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. But then I also always loved The Gift of the Magi too….it’s too hard to pick just one!
I have several favorites but would say that it’s basically a toss up between “The Very First Christmas” and “The Little Match Girl.” The star quilts were all beautiful … thanks for sharing.
My favorite Christmas book is called “The Christmas Box” read it every year.
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. I read it every year at this time.

My favorite is the nativity story in Luke, followed by Frosty the Snowman.
I love all those star quilts. The voting should be close.
It would be hard to pick a favorite. As a librarian and teacher I have seen too many. Maybe I’ll just have to stick to the Bible.
I love the poem “The night before christmas”.
Oops, I meant to add that I’m in the UK – I hope I can still enter to win a copy of the book.
I love the original black-and-white movie “A Christmas Carol” and I watch it every year.
I love the story of Jesus’ birth for that is the reason we celebrate Christmas and I made a quilt for my grandchildren depicting this wonderful story.

I like the book “The Night Before Christmas.” My favorite movies is The Polar Express.
