I&#8217;ll also look for books out there that children today would like.
Let me know what your favorites are and whether you read them to your children.  My daughter and son-in-law have a large box of children&#8217;s books that they bring out for the holidays.

<p>Their children, now in high school and college are too old for them.  But we all have fun reminiscing about them and the times we read them.</p>
<p>Do you like the classics, like Dickens&#8217; <em>Christmas Carol</em>?  Or those of more recent years?  What part do Christmas books play in your holiday festivities?</p>
<p>Have you written Christmas stories for your children, whether they&#8217;re published or not?  I&#8217;ve had several published in Christmas magazines.  But there are others we relate that are word-of-mouth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The questions arise as we read some of the newly released books about Christmas, Santa and the North Pole:</strong> <em>&#8220;Are scare tactics featured in children&#8217;s Christmas books to promote global warming agendas?  Are these books featuring facts or fiction when it comes to telling the North Pole and polar bear story?  Is the intention to alarm children or simply inform them? Or do they find the true story in books making the rounds this Christmas?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Because Christmas books are popular and Christmas one of the highly celebrated holidays, it makes sense, if someone wants to promote a book, to do it under the guise of it being a fun little Christmas story.</p>
<p>A recent story at Fox News, <a title="Children's Christmas Books &amp; Global Warming" href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,472164,00.html">Children&#8217;s Books Use Christmas to Push Global Warming Agenda</a>, highlights the pros and cons of this strategy, the fact that there are proponents and opponents of these books and the stories they tell.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Where do you stand on this issue?  </strong></li>
<li><strong>Is Christmas the time to air these agendas?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Did you buy these books for your children for Christmas?</strong></li>
</ul>
