2010 Christmas Christian Fiction Reading Challenge

This is another challenge from Margaret over at http://chf.creativemadnessmama.com2010-christmas-christian-fiction.jpgChallenge Requirements:1- Challenge will start Monday, November 15 and will end Friday, December 31.2- You can read anywhere from 1 to 5 books for the challenge and, of course, if you’re like me, you are more than welcome to surpass that number.3- And now, here’s the clincher… they must be Christmas Christian Fiction related books.4- The size of the book does not matter, nor does the genre. It is also okay for the book to overlap with other challenges. YA is okay. Audio, Re-reads, eBooks, and other formats are all allowed. As long as the book can by purchased it counts.I'd best get to work if I'm going to be able to start this one on the 15th.  I have a stack of Christmas books just waiting to be read ... they include:
  1. The Sound of Sleigh Bells (Woodsmall) (oops ... just realized I read this one last year.  I'll have to find something else.)
  2. Christmas at Harringtons (Carlson) -- I can't get my hands on a copy of this one, I'll  put it on next years list!
  3. A Prairie Christmas Collection (Peters, Bateman, Raney ...) -- 11/22/10
  4. A Simple Amish Christmas (Chapman) -- 11/25/10
  5. Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball (Paul) -- I can't get my hands on a copy of this one, I'll  put it on next years list!
  6. Grace (Gray) -- 12/4/10
  7. Finding Father Christmas (Gunn) -- 12/5/10
  8. Engaging Father Christmas (Gunn) -- 12/8/10
  9. A Door County Christmas (Melby, et al.) -- 12/16/10

Here are some other Christmas books I also plan to read, but I don't think they will fit this challenge as they (probably) aren't considered Christian fiction.
  1. Home for the Holidays (Macomber) -- 11/15/10
  2. The Perfect Christmas (Macomber) -- 11/29/10
  3. A Cars Christmas (Lagonegro - a Step Into Reading Ready to Read book) -- 12/8/10
  4. Christmas in Camelot (Osborne) -- 11/24/10
  5. The Christmas Clock (Martin) -- 12/7/10
  6. Auntie Claus (Primavera) -- 12/13/10
  7. Ernest's Special Christmas (Barnes ) -- 12/13/10
  8. Christmas at the Candle Factory (Johns)-- 12/13/10

Those are a great list of reads. I definitely would consider Debbie Macomber to count as Christian Fiction. It's my understanding that's how she started before she went to general market. I think the official title now is "inspirational" for her books. I have a few of hers to read, but not those two. I have "Call Me Mrs. Miracle". Are the ones you mentioned previous publications?

"Home for the Holidays" is two short stories, c1991 and c2004, published together in 2005. "The Perfect Christmas" is a new one c2009.
