We already have our Christmas books out and are reading them.
We have a tradition to read a Christmas book each night in December.
The last year or two my older girls haven't really been as interested {thats ok. They are growing up} so I've mainly read to my younger two children.
However this year I was so happy when they came and gathered round and joined in.
It's happened a couple times now and my heart just melted.
I haven't bothered to wrap our books this year {previously been wrapped with wrapping paper, then painted newspaper (so it wouldn't feel so wasteful) to our fabric Christmas bags/pillowcases, last year all in a basket under the tree.} This year they are all just on one shelf next to our nativity sets. Though I do like this idea : books as trees or stack like a christmas tree
Here our some of our favourite booksChristmas on Exeter Street
Christmas in Noisy Village
Mr Willowby's Christmas Tree
Christmas in Big Woods {Little house on the Prairie}
Once there was a Christmas Tree
Christmas Trolls
Madeline's Christmas
SantaSaurus
The Little Fir Tree
Eloise at Christmastime
Christmas Cobwebs
Berenstain Bears Christmas Tree
The Night before Christmas
12 Days of Christmas
The Christmas Wish
Nativity Books
I usually order at sales or mid year. I try to only limit myself to 2-4 christmas books each year.
Most of these books can't be found in stores here so I use Book depository with free shipping.
Happy Reading! Oh how I LOVE Christmas illustrations.
What is your favourite Christmas book recommendation?

Our newest favorite is Red Ranger Came Calling by Berkeley Breathed. We discovered it over the summer and I have bought one for each of my siblings with kids this Christmas. Love your posts! Thanks for writing!
