This year I decided to do something a little different to count down the days until Christmas. I got together 24 children Christmas books (some new ones along with favorites we've collected over the years) and wrapped each one separately. Each night we read a few verses relating to the birth of Christ and then let Winston pick a story to open and read for bed time. He's loved this and so have I. I thought I'd share a few of our favorites
The book pictured above "The Sweet Smell of Christmas" was a favorite of mine as a child. All three of my boys have loved it too. How can you not love a story that has yummy scratch and sniff pages?
What would Christmas be without a great nativity story with wonderful pictures and verse.
This is one of the new books I bought this year. It's about a camel named Humphrey who carried the treasures of the three kings and was able to meet and present the Christ child with his own gift - a wonderful and touching story.
This fun and silly alphabet book is Winston's favorite story this year. It's full of darling pictures and a fun verse about a family's Christmas Eve with relatives from A to Z.
What would Christmas be without Phineas and Ferb. This is a fun story about how these boys find the perfect Christmas Tree for their city.
What would Christmas be without this old classic - The Night Before Christmas. We've owned this book since Zack and Bo were little and have read it every year on Christmas Eve - keeping the magic of Christmas alive.
I've so enjoyed our nightly story time. This is a tradition we'll continue each year.
