Books make the perfect gift - and if you are stuck for ideas then look no further than our Best Books for Christmas feature - there's something for everyone, whether they're into fiction, non-fiction, photography, baking...

We are giving away every book featured on the page to one lucky person*. To enter the prize draw, simply tell us what three things you always get in for Christmas (and that Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without grin) Post on this thread before midday on Wednesday 13 December for a chance to win. You can find more about T&Cs etc on the page itself.

*A previous winner asked whether they might split the prize with a runner-up. If you win and this is your preference that's absolutely fine - you just need to let us know when we get in touch.

1. This has got to be a Chocolate Orange. My mum gave all of us one every year and it was a bit of a family tradition. I’ve taken up the mantle since she passed away.
2. Kartofflepuffers on Christmas Eve for supper. These are a kind of savoury potato pancake Dad always made and we all sat round with our plates begging for the next one out of the pan.
3. We bought a huge Christmas candle for our first Christmas 42 years ago. We just burn it whilst we eat Christmas Dinner and it’s still going strong.
