‘Tis the season of Christmas front pages. As many papers don’t publish on Christmas Day, I usually start this post on Christmas Eve and update.

Here is a selection from this year, starting with my two faves, though Politken is my runaway No. 1 this year. Het Parool is No. 2, before we get into Canada, we’re two papers continue their long traditions.

Both the Globe and Mail and National Post carry on their Christmas front page traditions.

And here are a couple more from Canada, the Edmonton Journal and Toronto Star.

If not for Canadian papers, this Christmas kitty would have been higher up. My daughter wanted it in the No. 2 slot.

And here are a few more from around the world. As per usual this is one of my favourite times of year on newspaper front pages.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.
