Ideas for Christmas with Kids


One of our "traditions" is reading Christmas books. I keep all our Christmas books packed with our ornaments and so it is a special treat to get them out with the Christmas decorations. Last year I wrapped up 12 books and each of the 12 days before Christmas we unwrapped one and read it as our story that night. This year (thanks to preschool book orders:) we are doing 25 books of Christmas. It is so fun because they get to unwrap a present each night and then we read the story. We actually now have way more than 25 Christmas books, I will try later to list our favorites.

  1. So, are you re-wrapping the books each year (aside form the new ones?)

  2. Yes, wrapping all of them old and new alike.

  3. I LOVE this idea! Thanks! I was wondering- when you do 3 gifts (like the wisemen gifts), does that include any "Santa" gifts? We don't celebrate Santa (pretend he comes) but we do set out Santa Surprise gifts.

  4. Joey thinks the stockings are from Santa. We haven't really even talked about Santa or celebrated it-not that we don't but just haven't made a big deal our of it, but he told me last year that Santa gave stocking gifts-so we just went with it.
