Kid Friendly Friday - Christmas Books


I wanted to share with you are great list of Christmas books. I have been gathering them for a few years (some listed I do not own) and only take them out for the month of December. There's such anticipation and we have fun enjoying them during the advent season. I have gotten many of them at used books stores or on-line at half.com No need to buy brand new!

  2. Around here we tend to be stuck in a rut - how the grinch stole Christmas, polar express, the night before Christmas, etc. It's nice to see a list of books that we don't know - we'll have to hit the library this season and read something new. Thanks!
