Our Christmas Book List

There are so many Christmas books out there and I’ve been on the hunt to find some of the best ones that truly capture the true meaning of Christmas. We are trying stay away from all of the “Santa and Elf” books around here, so we have been slowly stocking up on some beautiful classics to read throughout the children’s years for Christmas here.

Below are some of the wonderful ones we have, as well as a few that are on our wishlist. We enjoy cuddling by the fire with a good Christmas story to end our day! We also incorporate these stories into our homeschool day during our Poetry Tea time.

I want Christmas books to be a beloved memory for my children. I hope we can always gather and read these sweet books each year and then eventually, with their children as well.

Twas the Evening of Christmas — A Christian spin on the classic, Twas the Night Before Christmas
