The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.
Yesterday, my roommates and I decorated our house with a million lights, on the outside and inside. So that has gotten me in the holiday spirit recently, which isn't helpful when it comes to studying for finals. However, it got me thinking that I don't really know of many holiday books. I only remember reading one Halloween book when I was younger. I'm not sure if these books are available and I just never noticed, but if not I definitely think they should make more holiday books for children. I've never known one child who didn't get excited for the holidays. I think book like that will make them more excited to read.

When I used to work at my public library back home, there was a whole section in the children's area devoted to holiday books. However, the representation of different holidays was very unbalanced. For example, there were five full shelves full of Christmas books, but only about ten books on Hanukkah. There were a ton of books about Easter, but hardly any about St. Patrick's Day. I understand that the most popular holidays will get written about more, and, let's face it, kids love Christmas more than Valentine's Day. However, I feel that while there are books for mostly every major holiday, and some not so major, the representation should be equal. I would love to see five shelves of Hanukkah books right next to the five shelves of Christmas books, because I feel like it would give kids more of an opportunity to understand different holidays that they might not think about better.
