Holidays Around the World: picture book swap

The holiday season is celebrated in so many different ways all over the world...and though we're adults, it's always lovely to learn something new! For this swap, you are invited to share a seasonal picture book you love with your partner.

The book should be illustrated, and may be any sort of seasonal December story, including Hannukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, etc...or even just a simple winter tale. If you have a partner in another country, it might be nice to choose a book that reflects your own traditions, or is a classic holiday story from your own country. If you have a partner whose background is similar to yours, it might be fun to choose a more obscure book you enjoy that he or she may not have heard of. This swap is sender's choice, but please do share a book that is meaningful to you in some way and enclose a note explaining why you chose your book.

Edited: the book may be new or secondhand, but must be in clean, very good condition.

You will have 3 weeks to find a book to send. Please remember this is an international group...and therefore for this swap, books written in languages other than English are permitted, just so long as the sender includes a translation or summary of what the book is about. How exciting it would be to receive beautiful children's books from other countries!

Big thanks to @Merimax for her help with this swap idea. :)
