This year we are celebrating the Advent season in true literary fashion.
On a high shelf in the living room is a stack of 24 Christmas Stories, one for each evening until Christmas morning. We will enjoy watching the stack of books grow smaller and smaller as we draw nearer to Christmas day. Included are some of our favorite authors: Lois Lenski, Barbara Cooney, Tomie DePaola, Tasha Tudor, and Ezra Jack Keats, to name a few.
We hope you will enjoy some of your favorite Christmas books along with us, and perhaps discover a new favorite or two!

oooo...I love this idea! I wish i had the complete list so we could do it too. I don't think i have even 5 christmas books, much less 24. I will need to do some research.
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely going to do this! Thank you for the idea. I know we have a couple to start with, but a trip (or two) to the library will be needed!
ReplyDeleteI know our local library always has a nice shelf of Christmas and holiday books this time of year, also, a good librarian should be able to guide you to some gems, too.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I'm going to go get some books.
ReplyDeleteLove it- still waiting for the day where Elise's attention span is longer than 30 seconds, *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteThere is a great knitting-related Christmas book called Pashmina the Christmas Goat.
ReplyDeleteWe will definitely be looking up this book about the Christmas Goat- sounds lovely!
