Dracula.. Bram Stoker.

Frank Muir's treasury of Christmas - all about Christmas traditions and how we got them.

Good Housekeeping Cookery Book, circa 1952 - making the Christmas pudding. It's a great book, specially written for those who had to fend for themselves after the war had taken away all their servants and cooks... tells you how to boil water and in what pan, right down to jugging a hare!

'The Dark is Rising' sequence by Susan Cooper...I read it every year at this time. Starts with 'Over sea, under stone' and goes through 4 more books. It's brilliant.

I must rethink my medication though, because I was toying with the idea of reading 'Uncle Silas' yesterday....
