The list of Christmas books to read with your kids is likely endless, so it can be hard to make good choices. Store and library shelves are chock full of them this time of year, but some will be ones you or your kids don't like, while others will soon become treasures that you’ll read year after year. By choosing Christmas books to read with your kids that come recommended from other parents, you can quickly put together a set that you’ll turn to every time the holidays roll around. Here are some favorites I gathered among myself and my parent friends. I hope you find some new favorites on this list.
This guy is enjoying a huge comeback these days. The story is that he watches kids to make sure they behave, and then he reports back to Santa. Except, he is more about his crazy antics than his collaboration with the big jolly guy at the North Pole. While the whole thing seems a bit creepy to me, the Elf on the Shelf is definitely one of the most popular Christmas books to read with your kids this year.
It’s not really Christmas until you read this book! It’s all about a guy who hates the holiday and sets out to ruin it for everyone else. It teaches kids (and the Grinch) all about the true meaning of Christmas and how that can change our lives. A life lesson mixed with creative illustrations and a fun story, this book is sure to become a yearly read at your house.
This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas books to read to my kids. It’s all about how a child is a mother’s true miracle at the holidays and anytime. The pictures are adorable and so true to what having a little one is all about. This book will always be one of my top choices for the Christmas season.
What’s your favorite Christmas book of all time? Please share any others that you love because I really enjoy adding new ones each year for my kids.
