I have seen the Christmas Book Advent Calendar idea all over the blogsphere. In case you haven't seen the idea here is how it works:
- You gather 24 Christmas-themed children's books (if you don't own 24 Christmas-themed books you can trade with friends & family or check them out from the library)
- Wrap each book separately
- You number them from 1 to 24 and stick them under your Christmas tree
- Starting December 1st your children open a book each night to be read for their bedtime story
Here is a list of some books we will be reading this year:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus by Chris Plehal
The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore and Cheryl Harness
Olivia Helps with Christmas by Ian Falconer
Fancy Nancy's Splendiferous Christmas by Jane O'Connor
The Polar Express
Mooseltoe by Margie Palatini
Little Porcupine's Christmas by Joseph Slate
Christmas Night Fair and Bright by Julie Stiegemeyer
Cookies for Santa by Cecelia Slater
The Spirit of Christmas by Nancy Tillman
The Berenstain Bears meet Santa Bear by Stan & Jan Berenstain
This list is only half of what I need so I will be hunting for some more good titles. Does anybody have any favorite books they want to share?
