In this Christmas episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ we trade our usual “What are you reading?” segment for a festive book exchange! The Core Four each brings a book to give, sparking conversation about classic stories, meaningful reading, and the traditions that shape the season. We recommend beloved Christmas books for children and adults, reflect on why great Christmas stories endure, and offer ideas for reading together as a family.
Christmas Book Exchange 2025 list:
The Mythmakers —John Hendrix (From Paul, To Martin)
West with the Night —Beryl Markham (From Martin, To Jessica)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (From Tanya, To Paul)
Hamnet —Maggie O'Farrell (From Jessica, To Tanya)
