We're starting a new tradition with the kids this year . . . counting down to Christmas with books. I saw the idea here. I wrapped up all our Christmas books and we're opening and reading one a day until Christmas. Here's our stack of books:
This is the list of books we'll be reading, not necessarily in this order:
A Fruitcake Christmas – Max Lucado

I think that is such a neat idea....we are doing it too! I got the idea from the same website....that's funny! I didn't realize how many Christmas books we actually had until I started collecting books from all the kids rooms! Thanks to Grandma giving books to the kids...we have enough from Dec 1 - 25th! I didn't write down all the titles beforehand though. The kids love it and it's neat to sit down with the whole family to read a good book!
Happy reading!

Awesome idea!
Great idea! I'd need to increase our supply of Christmas books to do it but I can find the ones we have and just do that many sleeps! :o)
My favourite is her Birth of Christ story that was recorded by myself and all 6 of her grandparents. I tear up every time we listen to it.
