Holiday Books to Read with Kids ⋆ Little Miss Martha

Spread the love

This year for the first time, I, I mean WE decided that it would be fun to read a Christmas or holiday themed book every day before Christmas. By WE, I mean Big Christmas and myself. So the other night, he gathered all the holiday books from around the house and pulled the ones we got from the library so he could sit on them. He also left a note that he knew we had picked some books, but found a few more that we should read one every night from now until Christmas. He also apologized because he knew he was a few days late on this and we needed to read a couple at a time for the first few days to catch up.

Anyways…
We are super excited to do this this year, and here’s what we plan to read in no particular order except The Night Before Christmas which obviously we will read The Night Before Christmas.

HOLIDAY BOOKS

We do not have this many holiday books on a normal day. We took advantage of our local library to make sure we had enough to cover the month! AND I actually used their online reservation system so I wouldn’t have to seek them out and this saved me soooooo much time! I use the online reservations all the time! It’s like my favorite!

Anyways, I’d love to hear if you do this and what your favorite books are to read around this time!
