Fun Family Tradition

Take the time to snuggle up with your little ones and read Christmas stories before bedtime.

To make it more exciting, take any Christmas books you have and wrap them in pretty Christmas paper. Each night before bedtime have your kids pick a book and unwrap it to read before bedtime.

If you have a smaller collection of books, count how many you have and start later in the month. For instance, if you have ten books start December 15th.

To increase your collection see if you can snag any Christmas books at the local Thrift stores. If not, you can always order them online to save some time. We compiled some recommended family reads – 25 Christmas Books to read with your kids.
