Looking for a good holiday book for my book club?

I would like to feature a good Thanksgiving or Christmas novel for my book club to read next month. The book would need to be one that a book club would be able to analyze and discuss. Any ideas welcome, thanks.Looking for a good holiday book for my book club?
There are quite a few really good Christmas books, besides A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The Christmas Wish by Richard Siddoway (1998) is a really heartwarming book. The Christmas Quest by Richard Siddoway is a sequel. Another really good book is The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere from 2001. (The Christmas Blessing is her second book. I didn't find it quite as good a read.) Richard Paul Evans has several very good novels. The one that I would suggest is The Christmas Box (1993). That is really excellent. There is also Finding Noel: A Novel by Richard Paul Evans (and another called The Gift: A Novel which is coming out on 10/9/2007). There is a book, which I haven't read yet but looks good, The Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright and The Christmas Candle by Max Lucado. A really beautiful series edited by Joe Wheeler is the Christmas in My Heart series that has an anthology of stories about Christmas. I don't know that this one would work for your club, but the stories are really excellent. There is also the short and lovely story by O. Henry, The Gift of the Magi.Looking for a good holiday book for my book club?
I suggest I Heard the Owl Call My Name. It is about a young Anglican priest who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and is sent by his bishop to a remote Native American village on an island in Canada. There used to be a TV version which was shown each year at Christmastime.

The best line in the book takes place when the young priest is on the ferry going to the village, and he asks the Native American man who is escorting him, whose name is something like Jean Pierre LaChappelle "You people have such beautiful names, where do they come from?" The Native American man asks him where his people's names come from, and the priest says "Why, from our fathers and grandfathers."

The Native American man replies - "Yeah, that's where ours come from too, from your fathers and grandfathers."Looking for a good holiday book for my book club?
There are a bunch of authors out there hoping to write the next "Night Before Christmas" but a great book I just read that is not exclusively a holiday book but has a great section devoted to Christmas in it is John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany
Debbie Macomber has several Christmas and a Thanksgiving books out. They are realy good and tends to be sentimental also. Some of the titles are Shirley, Goodness and Mercy, Where Angels Go, Touched by Angels. Can this Be Christmas, Christmas Letters, there are several more-just go to her web site and check them out. Fern Michaels has a good Thanksgiving on called Thanksgiving Blessings. Hope this helps. I love books about those holidays.
