Christmas is not complete without reading some classics and Christmas tunes getting stuck in your head. As we continue to enjoy this holiday season with our family and friends, let us review the list of Christmas books our resident Book Reviewer, Riley from 7th grade researched for us! And in the old times, we would be burning our own Christmas CD’s or even creating a mix tape, but our awesome 8th graders created a special Spotify playlist just for our community to enjoy... because we are fancy like that!
