Darkness blankets the land
Covering forests and homes
Mountains and bookshops

On the 24th December
People gift books
As a sign of love
Of hope
During a dark time of year

Reading is magic –
When you have the right book

So people plan
They sneak and they search
For books to give loved ones
And families and friends

Families gather together –
Love billows and swells
They pull back the tape
Untangle the ribbons

Then pore over treasures and marvel together
New worlds and adventures
Etched across pages
Bound between covers

The Christmas Book Flood continues to spread as more and more people join the tradition each year. Will it reach you?
