It is so easy to get caught up in all the rush of the Christmas season, that we fail to spend time enjoying the season with our children and reminding them of what it is really about. With these 25 days of Christmas books, you can spend time daily with your children AND remind them that it is all about the birth of Jesus.
I’ve always enjoyed reading books with my kids, and Christmas was an extra special time of year to break out the Christmas stories and books we had collected over the years. We would pick a book each night in the month of December and read to countdown the days until Christmas. It was like an advent book calendar that we did together!
I’ve kept a list of all of my very favorite Christmas books for kids and want to share it with you here today. These books make great gifts, whether for your own children or to help build a Christmas collection for a special child in your life. This is a list that will serve to remind your children that Christmas isn’t just about getting gifts, but about GIVING — and the greatest gift ever given.
Why not start a tradition of choosing 25 Christmas books in (or before) November, and wrapping them individually? Let your children take turns opening one each morning starting on December 1st, and ending on Christmas day with the reading of the Christmas story from the Bible. It can be like a book advent calendar filled with children’s Christmas books!
Not only is this a great way to create special memories, but it’s also a great way to slow down and enjoy time together while focusing on God’s gift to us.

And if this list isn’t enough, I also have a few other lists I’d love to share with you! If you have a baby or toddler in your life, this list of 16 books is just right for your little ones. Or, are your kids more hands-on? This list of 18 Christmas activity books would be perfect for them

I just like the valuable info you provide for your articles.
I will bookmark your weblog and take a look at again here regularly.
I’m reasonably sure I will learn plenty of new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

Thanks so much Jennifer!
Thanks April! I’ll keep that on in mind for a future list. 🙂
You would love Mary’s Treasure Box by Carolyn Walz Kramlich. It is a great way to remember and introduce the meaning/significance of different items Mary might have saved from the birth of Jesus! To me it has a similar feel to Jacobs Gift.
Thank you so much for this list to add to our Christmas list! We have some but saw many new ones.
Praying for you over the next few days, Kathie. So glad Jesus will be with you in the hospital.
Blessings,
Jennifer
