It's Christmas Eve—time for Jólabókaflóð! An Icelandic tradition, "The Christmas Book Flood" involves the gifting of books at the holiday, which are read Christmas Eve night, with some hot chocolate. Sounds like a book-lover's dream! #Jólabókaflóð #ChristmasBookFlood

On this day, in 1823, the classic Christmas poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas"—more frequently known today as "The Night Before Christmas"—was first published in the Troy Sentinel newspaper in New York. It gave us many of the details of the "Santa story." #TheNightBeforeChristmas #💙📚 #Booksky

On this day, in 1843, Charles Dickens' holiday classic, "A Christmas Carol," was first published. The first edition sold out by Christmas Eve, and the book became an instant sensation, with thirteen editions published by the end of 1844. #💙📚 #Booksky #AChristmasCarol
