Every night, my husband and I take turns reading Christmas books to Dannica. There really isn’t anything sweeter or more tender than being curled up with your little babe under a thick blanket with a good book. Our hearts beat slower, time slows down, and the big, big world becomes small and cozy. It is such a delicious feeling, and for some reason, storytime doesn’t feel this warm and fuzzy in any other season. We of course have our classical favorites, but we have discovered so many wonderful new Christmas books that I just had to share them with you.
1. Pick A Pine Tree–an ABSOLUTE MUST. Adorable little story about picking and decorating a Christmas tree. Stunning illustrations. This is Dannica’s FAVORITE.
2. When Santa Was A Baby–Short story about how Santa became who he is today. Again, stunning illustrations, and such a fun read for children to see how Santa grew up.
3. First Snow–A great beginner’s book about how to build a snowman. Truly stunning illustrations and I personally adore the small Korean touches in the illustrations.
4. Olivia Helps With Christmas–One of Dannica’s favorite storybook character, Olivia here “helps” out with Christmas!
5. The Little Reindeer–How a small child goes through a Christmas Eve adventure! GORGEOUS illustrations and fun little cutouts.
6. The Wish Tree–How a little boy sets out to find the Wish Tree with the help of some woodland friends.
7. Samurai Santa–Lots of ninja (and snowball) fun with a surprising twist at the very end! 🙂
8. Little Blue Truck’s Christmas–Fun Christmas rendition of the Little Blue Truck’s series. Dannica especially loves the twinkly lights at the very end!
9. Don’t Push The Button! A Christmas Adventure–Dannica loves the original book and this one is just as much fun!
I hope these books add lots of Christmas cheer to your home, and have your young ones’ embrace all things holiday that much more!
