If you fancy a Christmas story that's far from the classic cozy by the fire, "Christmas Pudding" is an excellent pick. Nancy Mitford's wit sparkles in this romp through a disorganized holiday at Lady Bobbin's estate. The characters are endearingly flawed, and the satirical take on high-society festivities will provide plenty of chuckles. Plus, Mitford's insights on love and fidelity are as sharp as they are entertaining. A delightful read when you're in the mood for humor laced with a dash of cynicism.
