Amazon’s 10 Top selling Christmas Books Of All Time

A Blogger's Books would like to wish all its regulars and first-time visitors a very Merry Christmas! To tide you over to the new year, I want to leave you with a countdown of Amazon's 10 best-selling Christmas books.  Have a good read and I'll see you again in 2011.

No matter if you celebrate Christmas or not, you would’ve - at some point - bought, received, or read to your kids, some of the following popular Christmas books. According to Amazon.com the following are the top 10 Christmas books bought by customers in the last few years.

You are correct if you guessed that 'A Christmas Carol' and 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' are on the list. These are two of my favourite Christmas books. In fact, I take them out come November each year and read them to the kids in the seven weeks leading up to Christmas. 

See if any of your favourites are on the Christmas most popular list.

Here are some of the ways in which the internet has made me better from saving money on education to saving relationships.

People have been known to rant about their bosses on social networking sites; a stupid mistake which often lands them in the unemployment line. Admittedly, some kids spend far too long on the Internet, meeting dangerous strangers, or wasting time on violent games. All this being said, the Internet has its advantages too. I know that it’s made me better in some ways.

With student fees rising and pensions plans evaporating, saving for the future has become an absolute necessity.  Of all the things we have to give up, I wonder how many people are willing to sacrifice their Internet connection. I can’t think of one family I know who would be willing to give their Internet up. I know that as a writer and blogger, I simply would not.
