I love children’s books! Like I have mentioned before I have been buying children’s books since I was in high school! I especially love Christmas Children’s books! We have so much fun each night reading Christmas Stories leading up to Christmas! I have collected about 30 of my own children’s Christmas books and am always on the look out for more. We used to wrap them each year, but this year I decided to simplify. I have a cute bag by my tree and each night a new book is “magically” in the bag! Don’t worry they know it’s me! I didn’t find the time to wrap them, plus it saved me money on wrapping paper! I picked our favorite 25 that we will read all the way to Christmas day! We started on the first and it has been so fun to have them cuddle around me on the couch and read a sweet Christmas story! If you don’t have a lot of books, go to the library once a week and get 7 Christmas books, put a new one in the bag each day and then take them back and get 7 more the next week!
I thought I would share my list of my favorite books! I thought I was going to do 25, but ended up doing 30! Each book will link to Amazon just incase you decide to buy it! I thought it would be helpful for you to see the actual picture of the book so I also linked my Amazon store to the bottom of the post
