Favorite Christmas songs and books

What are yours? I find if I listen to Christmas songs when writing I sing along and get very little writing done. Or reading for that matter! Listening to Burl Ives right now...

And looking for holiday reads. Any suggestions? I love Christmas romances. Naughty or Nice *wink*

Countdown

This is Christmas week. Yes, suddenly it's upon us, or it's crashed down like a freight train depending on how you look at it. The Christmas music is on, some of those songs never get old (but for th love of God, people, please stop playing that Paul McCartney one! I can't take it any more!!)

For those of you who celebrate, how're you handling the season? Or are you one of those who only has to bring a dish or two and that's it?
