Our Favorite Christmas Books

77 shares
  • 4

Christmas is a wonderful time to create a new read-aloud tradition. This post is filled with our favorite Christmas books!

Check out this wonderful list of Christmas books!

There’s something so incredibly cozy about Christmas books. I have such happy memories of sitting on the couch surrounded by my children and reading books together with the lights of the tree twinkling.

Many of our favorite Christmas books are picture books (my fave!), but we also have a few longer books that we enjoy around Christmastime.

Sometimes we wrap up the books and read a book per day, for a picture book Advent, but this year I just put them all in a basket and we’re reading them at various times.

Every year I try to add to our collection of Christmas books. I store them separately from the rest of our books, so we only read them at Christmas. This makes them seem more special for everyone!

    These are all such great books! There are so many wonderful Christmas books out there; this year my boys told me they’re too old for picture books so we’re reading a chapter book about Christmas together.

      I know, it’s so sad when they outgrow picture books, isn’t it? I’ve only got one younger child (age 8) these days, so I’m thankful I can still have an excuse to read picture books! 🙂 Do you have any recommendations for Christmas chapter books?

        Last year we read The Naughty List and this year we’re reading A Boy Called Christmas; both have been incredibly crazy Christmas chapter books that have made us laugh with their antics. And both are written so that kids who sill believe can enjoy them. I’ve also heard great things about the Best/ Worst Christmas Pageant Ever but as of last week we were still waiting for a copy to be available through our library.
