Christmas Books

Another idea I got from Pinterest!!  You read a Christmas book to your child every night starting on December 1st until the 24th.  Very cool and we have tons of Christmas books, right?!?

Well, we only had 6 or so.  The classics that everyone has in their library.  So, off to the internet and half price books I went to search for meaningful Christmas books.  You know, not those filled with Santa, but what Christmas really is about.  As I said before, we try to minimize the commercialism of Christmas and focus on the real meaning.  This comes from lots of talks and activities surrounding the holiday season.

So, here's our list:

1.  The Legend of the Candy Cane
2.  Mr. Willowby's Tree
3.  A Cat in the Stable
4.  Snowmen at Christmas
5.  Santa's Coming to Wisconsin
6.  Laura's Star
7.  Can You See What I See
8.   Curious George Christmas
9.  12 Days of Christmas in Wisconsin
10.  The Sparkle Box
11.  Gingerbread Baby
12.  Humphrey's 1st Christmas
13. Legend of the Christmas Stocking
14. Room for a Little One
15. Best Christmas Pagent Ever
16. Spirit of Christmas
17. Carpenters Gift
18. Little Fir Tree
19. Christmas Magic
20. God Gave Us Christmas
21. Charlie Brown Christmas
22. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
23. Polar Express
24.  First Christmas


The kids love the idea and are having a great time unwrapping each book and listening as I read it to them.  They decided that after we were done reading the books go back under the tree.

I know we will be doing this again next Christmas and now I have a good set of books to use and hopefully will only have to get a few new ones to add to the collection.
