25 Days of Christmas Books

The holiday season has its traditions, and one of my family's favorite is the 25 Days of Christmas Books.  I usually choose all of the books, surprising my family with the titles.  Then, starting December 1st, we read one book aloud each night.  Why not try it with your family?  It works with children of all ages.  If the 25 days is a little daunting, try 12 days instead.  Here are the titles we will be sharing this year:
