I am beyond blessed to be joining hands with Crystal, Liz, Justine and Stephanie for The Great Christmas Roundup! Not only do I adore these ladies but being able to celebrate this special season is an honor I don't want to ever take lightly or for granted.
I'm sharing our favorite 25 Christmas Books for Children. All of these are titles I love and that Kinsey and Brielana both enjoy. Some are classics, some are specific to this year, some are faith-based and some are whimsical but they are all great books to add your child's library. Enjoy! Affiliate links used.

Love this! We have so many Christmas books that they fill two baskets. Ha ha! And I just keep adding. I just bought There was an old lady who swallowed a bell and it's adorable. We love Pete the Cat Saves Christmas and Click Clack Ho Ho Ho. Books are the best!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! Our Elf just brought Little Blue Truck Christmas. So I may have a silly question, do you purchase 25 NEW books every year or are these ones you already own?
ReplyDeleteAaaahhhh, this is the first year in 4 years that I won't be doing the wrapped books :(. It kind of makes me a teensy bit sad, but we've just outgrown the tradition (as much as that pains me to say). I am just going to display our basket of books on the 1st unwrapped.
ReplyDeleteI love these books! Such a great collection of titles. Most of these I've read many times with my own littles, but a couple are new to me. :) Thanks so much for participating Whitney!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great list! And there are a few we do not currently have! I can't wait to add them to our collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I spot a few of our favorites and a ton of new ones to add to our list this year.
ReplyDeletegreat list! my daughter loves to read so i'll be adding a few of these on to her christmas wishlist! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteSO. MANY. GREAT. BOOKS!!! Our Elf on the Shelf delivers a different holiday book each time he visits, and The Night Before Christmas is always his last book! Our elf has never delivered There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell, but we have another There Was an Old Lady Book, and I think the Bell version would be a mighty fine addition the the elf's collection!
ReplyDeleteSo many of these we don't have! I am going to need to make a run to the library and stock up on some new to us books so we can read all things Christmas this month.
