Top 25 Best Christmas Books for Kids
This list is great for starting a Christmas book advent tradition! We’ve already started to read a bunch of the books on our list and we will be finishing up all of our favs by Christmas.
One way to get started with a Christmas book advent is to buy seven books at a time and wrap them up. We like to leave our books by our tree in order to open and read one every day!
Our favorite book to read on Christmas Eve is (obviously) The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore.
Family Christmas Traditions
Some of our favorite Christmas traditions are going on a Christmas light scavenger hunt, making Christmas cookies, decorating our house, making fun Christmas crafts, playing family board games, and buying matching pajamas for the whole family!
In 2021, we even started our own light show at home! My kids are learning to program each individual Christmas bulb to their favorite Christmas songs for our whole town to watch! You can check out our Wizards of Winter videos on YouTube as well!
