25 Days of Christmas Books for Kids

Sunday, November 22, 2015 by Lolli 4 Comments

One of my favorite traditions over the years has been spending the month of December reading Christmas books with the family. We have gathered a huge collection of Christmas stories over the years (two boxes full!). I am quick to grab any Christmas books that I see at used books stores or thrift stores (I’ve found some amazing treasures!). Note: Amazon affiliate links are used in this post.

I celebrated my first Christmas as a mom way back on Christmas Day 1996. My first daughter was a day old, and we were released from the hospital. I couldn’t believe the miracle that had happened on Christmas Eve. I had a perfect, beautiful baby girl! In the past 19 years, I’ve welcomed four more kids to the family and made a ton of holiday memories along the way. Some of these books are precious parts of our Christmas memories and I plan to keep it that way. Now that our family is getting older, I look forward to someday being known as the cool Grandma with all of the Christmas books and hands-on nativities.
