Happy Holidays from The Reader – take home our Home for Christmas anthology
The Reader team has been counting down the days to Christmas the only way we know how - with a poetry advent calendar in the entrance hall at our HQ.
For those who haven't been able to pop over to Calderstones Park to take their pick - we've pulled together a special collection for you to take home and share, wherever you live.
Whether you lead Shared Reading, help us grow it, or are shouting about it in your local area, we hope you'll love the poems we've picked for you this festive season.
