Hans Christian Andersen: The Little Match Girl
Andersen's tale about a little girl who's afraid to go home because she hasn't sold enough matches is a classic. The little girl, bareheaded and barefoot, curls up in a corner, lighting match after match to warm herself. In the flames she sees visions; in the final one, her grandmother appears and lifts the little girl into heaven. With muted blues, grays and browns, Isadora captures the mood of a snowy Victorian winter reminiscent of Dickens's A Christmas Carol. With these illustrations, coupled with superb book design, the artist has surpassed even the splendid art in her previous books.

Karl-Josef Kuschel: Das Weihnachten der Dichter: Große Texte von Thomas Mann bis Reiner Kunze
Es sind die großen Stimmen der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts zum Thema Weihnachten, die Karl-Josef Kuschel hörbar macht (Thomas Mann, Bert Brecht, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Kästner, Else Lasker-Schüler, Johannes Bobrowski, Ilse Aichinger, Peter Huchel, Heinrich Böll, Kurt Marti, Erich Fried, Reiner Kunze). Jede dieser Stimmen bringt etwas in uns zum Klingen, auf das wir an Weihnachten nicht verzichten möchten. Sei es die Utopie, von der unsere Welt zuweilen weiter entfernt scheint denn je, sei es der Blick für die Doppelbödigkeit der Wirklichkeit, für unsere Inszenierungen und Kulissen gerade an Weihnachten. Auch die Aufrüttelung aus der Idylle gehört dazu. Es braucht die Spannung der großen Worte von Frieden, Freude und Gnade zur Realität ausgegrenzter, zerstörter Existenz. So kann man auch heute Weihnachten feiern.

Die Weihnachtsmaus ist sonderbar
(sogar für die Gelehrten),
Denn einmal nur im ganzen Jahr
entdeckt man ihre Fährten.
Mit Fallen und mit Rattengift
kann man die Maus nicht fangen.
Sie ist, was diesen Punkt betrifft,
noch nie ins Garn gegangen.
