I just finished reading a small book: "The Nativity" by Alonzo L. Gaskill. Bought it at BYU when I was there. It's published by Deseret Book. What a wonderful book. Brother Gaskill is a convert from the Greek Orthodox Church and has written books on gospel symbols.
The Christmas story from Matthew and Luke is meshed chronologically, so you can read the whole story (which is what we read on Christmas Eve). Then the scriptures are taken line by line and explained as far as biblical customs and other commentaries are concerned. Really insightful. I highly recommend it.
