Free (Public Domain) Christmas Themed Books, Poems and Short Stories - Includes Some Audiobooks!

Tis the Season... to grab you book and a cup of hot cocoa and hid from all the chaos. After all they've found that reading can reduce your stress so it is the perfect excuse for some you time. As always the links here lead to public domain sources and are free, some have audio books as well but it isn't always available.

I always prefer physical books and any of these public domain books should be available through your local library. Physical books are especially useful for children and they tend to have beautiful illustrations and allow them to help by turning the pages. Please be aware that the original versions of most of the children's stories were intended for children who were used to sitting and reading books for entertainment so if your child struggles to sit still there is no shame in finding a picture book version at your local library.
