An Organized Christmas Part 4: Christmas Books

Our 2011 Christmas Want-To-Do-List includes reading Christmas books. Because we’re homeschooling, we can easily fit reading into our daily curriculum. But I also want to try to read a Christmas book at bedtime at least a couple of times each week. Emma loves to read, so this one will thrill her!

I wanted to share some of our favorite Christmas books with you.

  1. Christmas in the Big Woods (My First Little House Books)
  2. Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas
  3. God Gave Us Christmas
  4. Mr. Putter & Tabby Bake the Cake
  5. The King’s Christmas List
  6. Olivia Helps with Christmas

I have a few other books that I’ll be ordering either from Amazon in November or from the library in early December. Here’s what I’m looking at adding to our reading collection this year:

I’m starting to look at books now so that I can order them from Amazon. They have a 4-for-3 promotion where you buy any 4 of their under-$10 participating books, and you automatically get the least expensive one FREE. You have to be sure that the books you’re ordering qualify for the promo. Just look for this below the book image:

Then add the books to your cart. When you check out you should see the lowest priced eligible book deducted from your total.

So what will you be reading with the kids this Christmas? Any suggestions for me to add to my list?

  1. I love these books. A few of our favorites are The Legend of the Candy Cane, The Crippled Lamb, Merry Christmas Amelia Bedilia and Frosty the Snowman.

    • Oooh those sound good! I think we may have the Legend of the Christmas Tree here, and Emma may be old enough to really understand it this year. Happy reading!

  2. One of the sweetest Christmas books I’ve ever read is The Bearer of Gifts by Kenneth Steven. Love, love, love it!

    • I’ve never heard of that one, Julie. I’ll have to add it to my list to check out. Thanks!

    • Our daughter is 6 and loves to read. These would be perfect read-to-me books even for younger kids (minus the Nate the Great… He’s for older kids!). Older kids could read them independently too.
