With Christmas just six months away, why not check out some great books that revolve around the most wonderful time of the year. Well, at least for many. Here are ten of my favorite holiday inspired reads.

1. Letters From Father Christmas by J. R. R. Tolkien
Not many people are aware that the author of The Lord of the Rings wrote a Christmas themed book.
