     Decorating with Lights: Cover everything in lights—trees, furniture, maybe even your Petpet. This guide also includes a handy section on avoiding power outages.

     Holiday Decorating Hints: The perfect read for beginners who need basic advice, like “Step one: get a tree.” Includes bonus tips on what to do when your Bruce eats the ornaments.

     Guide to Neopian Snowflakes: Add some unique flair to your decor with this book’s guide to crafting paper snowflakes modeled after actual Neopian weather phenomena.

     Setting a Table Quickly: A lifesaver for the holiday host who forgot guests were coming. Just don’t let them notice the Faerie Pie is still half-frozen.

     Holiday Laughs

     The holidays aren’t just about heartwarming stories—they’re also about groan-worthy jokes and side-splitting laughter. These books are guaranteed to bring smiles to even the grumpiest Scorchio:

      101 Snowman Jokes: These jokes might not melt your heart, but they’ll definitely melt your friends’ patience. For example: “What do you call a snowman’s pet? A frost-dog!”

     Heartfelt and Inspiring Stories

     After the chaos of baking and decorating, it’s time to curl up by the fire and indulge in some feel-good tales. These books will remind you of the true meaning of the season:

     Kiko Christmas Story: A delightful reminder that a little Christmas magic can make even the most impossible dreams come true—though let’s be honest, if you’ve ever had an item stolen by the Kiko Lake Altador Cup team, you might need an extra cup of borovan to forgive them.

     The Spirit of Giving: This story follows a Neopian who gives up their most prized possession to help a friend in need. Warning: have tissues handy.

     Raindorf Dances: Follow Raleigh the Raindorf as he twirls, leaps, and prances his way through the Month of Celebrating, spreading joy to everyone he meets.

     Neopian Chaos and Festive Hijinks

     No holiday season is complete without a bit of mischief, and these books embrace the fun and unpredictability of Neopian life:

     Holiday Hijinks with Malkus: When Malkus Vile hatches a plan to steal the holidays, hilarity ensues. This slapstick adventure will leave you cheering for the underdog—and possibly booby-trapping your own presents.

     The Night Before the Night Before the Night Before the Day of Giving: A ridiculously over-the-top parody of holiday anticipation, perfect for those who just can’t wait for the big day.

     Guide to Snow Rolling: Part sport, part survival guide, this book teaches the art of rolling snowballs while avoiding being flattened by them.

     For the Frazzled and Overwhelmed

     Sometimes, the holidays can feel like too much. These books will help you find calm amidst the chaos:

     For the Overachiever

     Finally, for those who like to go above and beyond, these books are the ultimate challenge:

     Very Long First Day of Celebrating: This book is so long it doubles as a doorstop. If you can finish it, you’ll gain an intelligence boost—and probably a cramp in your reading paw.

     Finding the Best Ugly Sweater: An in-depth guide to the subtle art of locating the perfect blend of hideousness and charm. Bonus points if you pair it with socks that clash.

     No matter how you celebrate, these Neopian books will make the Month of Celebrating brighter, funnier, and more magical. So, whether you’re curled up in Terror Mountain or basking in Mystery Island’s tropical “snow,” grab a book, a cup of hot borovan, and enjoy the festive season!
