Here is a selection of the best reasons for reading at Christmas.
\nReading at Christmas time is the best because\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIts cold outside\u201d Ben<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou have lots of time to relax, you can drink hot chocolate and you are still doing your English but not in class.\u201d Erin
\n\u201cIt teaches you to appreciate what you have and be grateful you have a family.\u201d Sara<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou can sit cosy and read whilst watching people silly enough to go outside in a storm, battling with their brolly.\u201d Rachel<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt relaxes you in-between the chaos of family life at Christmas and gives you an excuse to get away from annoying members of your family.\u201d Josh<\/strong>
\n\u201cWhen you are cold you can snuggle up in your blankets and just read a book to relax. After that you can go for a wee sleep.\u201d Portia<\/strong>
\n\u201cI can sit on the sofa or bed in my PJs reading. I can have a cosy night with peppermint hot chocolate in my bed with fluffy slippers.\u201d Emma<\/strong>
\n\u201cI curl up next to the fireplace and the Christmas tree and read my book.\u201d Sonia<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt is relaxing, fun and an enjoyable thing to do at this special time of year.\u201d Alistair<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou get to cuddle up beside the fire and dig into a good book. You can stay up all night just reading and reading. Once you have read all the books you can go out and get more- they are on sale!\u201d Zaynah<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou can curl up with a good book and hot chocolate, while it\u2019s cold outside and you are all nice and toasty in the house with your head in another world.\u201d Rhianna<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt relaxes you and takes away all the stress of Christmas; waiting for Santa to come.\u201d Evy<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou can add in an extra helping of excitement to the fun of Christmas by reading an enthralling novel.\u201dZainah<\/strong><\/p>\n
