Christmas Book Poll

I love Christmas picture books. I already have a modest collection of them, and every year I get excited as I contemplate which one I will add to it. I only allow myself one new one every year, so sometimes I have a hard time choosing which one will have the honor of joining my little library. This year I'm having a particular hard time because my new found frugality (did I make that word up?) is making it hard for me to spend our precious dollars. I want to make each penny count. That's why it's extra important that I choose the book that will add the most value to my collection.

I went in to Seagull Book tonight to try and find that special book, but I just couldn't decide. And since I've always wanted a reason to use a poll on my blog, I thought I'd ask my friends and family to help me pick one. Here are the choices:

Christmas for a Dollar
Penny's Christmas Miracle
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
The Christmas Orange
My poll will close next Friday night (12/11). Cast your votes! Help me pick a new Christmas book for my collection!
P.S.- There's one that I'm leaning more heavily toward, but I won't tell you which one. That would spoil the fun! And, if you guys don't vote for that one, I'll still go with what you say because I trust you.

Marianne!! I finally added you to my blog list, I'm sorry it's taken me SO long :) I think you're DARLING and I'm excited to read about all the things going on in your life. I met you ONCE at Joel's Homecoming.. Didn't you sing at it?

I haven't read any of them, so I don't want to vote and ruin the fun. Good luck!

p.s. if you see my frugality, tell it I'm looking for it.

I voted on Penny's Christmas miracle but I also like The Christmas Orange.

My all time favorite is Jonathan Toomey. I can't read it without crying. I vote for that.

That was actually me (Kim) not Josh. I don't think he cries when he reads Jonathan Toomey :)

I was wondering about that. :)
