25 Christmas Books

It's December 1st, which means that I get to wrap all of our Christmas books up in Christmas paper for our tradition of opening a book a day and doing a Christmas activity to go along with them. We started this last year, and did it kind of all of a sudden that I used books that weren't my favorite, but they did the job. This year, I've been planning, and I'm so excited. Max LOVES this! Ivy was so little last year, that I'm excited for her to do it, too! I might post some of our activities that I have planned randomly, but I wanted to put out our list so you can check out the SUPER fun Christmas books we are reading!
