The Pinterest post that inspired our tradition |
It was such a treat to open and read the first book last night. Since Little C now has opinions at the age of almost three, we needed to develop a system about who gets to read the book in bed. #nerdybookclubproblems Tonight, Little C began unwrapping the whole stack tonight and reading joyfully. (I need to re-wrap Dec. 3-5 before I go to bed tonight.) Snuggling up with a "new" book each night is such a treat!

Love this tradition! Some of our favs are Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear, Dream Snow, J likes 12 Days of Christmas in Iowa (warning-it's long), Santa's Stuck, and Silent Night with illustrations by Thomas Kincade and many of the ones your family loves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations! I was on the fence about ordering Dream Snow, but I think it might need to go in our must-have pile.
