Last year I took a survey of my friends and family to find their favorite Christmas books. I really challenged myself to cut back on the number of festive clothing items I’ve let myself buy for each holiday, but I guess I am now channeling that energy into holiday books. I mean, they don’t outgrow books as quickly as they do clothing, right?! ;)
Last year Pick a Pine Tree sold out on Black Friday and was impossible to find ANYWHERE for the rest of the season. So I ordered it in early November and I am SO excited about it. This round up of favorite children’s Christmas books has a mixture of books that talk about the history of Christmas, as well as books that talk about the Christmas traditions, Christmas spirits, etc. I definitely want my kids to have fun with the joy of giving to their friends and family, but I want them to ultimately remember why we are celebrating the holiday in the first place.
Pick a Pine Tree | Christmas in the Manger | Little Blue Truck’s Christmas | The Nutcracker | The Christmas Story | Don’t Push the Button: A Christmas Adventure | The Sweet Smell of Christmas | Ditty Bird Christmas Songs
I highly recommend each and every one of these books. They are the perfect mix of fun stories and the real story of Christmas and the birth of Jesus.

In addition to reading, we love singing! This is our favorite Christmas song book. The melodies are just the right chorus length to never get old, even if my toddlers hit repeat on the button 20 times.
