Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling
Like Anne Shirley, Harry hasn't had a real Christmas before -- the nasty Dursleys didn't care to indulge him. Children's literature abounds with great Christmas scenes because it's so fun to see the wonder of a child on Christmas morning, and even more so when it's a deserving kid like Harry who hasn't experienced the holiday properly before:
On Christmas Eve, Harry went to bed looking forward to the next day for the food and the fun, but not expecting any presents at all. When he woke early in the morning, however, the first thing he saw was a small pile of packages at the foot of his bed.
"Merry Christmas," said Ron sleepily as Harry scrambled out of bed and pulled on his bathrobe.
"You, too," said Harry. "Will you look at this? I've got some presents!"
"What did you expect, turnips?" said Ron, turning to his own pile, which was a lot bigger than Harry's.
