Holiday Book a Day (#nerdlution Day 1)

Christmas is magical with young children.  I treasure being able to enjoy the holiday season with Big B and Little C, especially the traditions we are building as a family.  One of my favorites is our Holiday Book a Day.  (Thank you, Pinterest!)  Yesterday I wrapped up the 16 Christmas picture books we own.  I also began scouring Goodreads and trusted blogs to find two new books to order and add to our collection.  Plus I'll need to make a library trip to find seven more titles for us to enjoy.  

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!  

Here are our holiday/winter favorites, featuring many beloved characters...
