Do you love 🎔 reading holiday books? We are a Christmas family, so we like to pull out all our books (from our shelves and from the library) and read them starting the day after Thanksgiving.
The hardest, but most fun part for me is narrowing the books (I usually start with approximately 50 books) down to 25 that we then read each during the month of December leading up to Christmas.
I know some awesome people that wrap each of the books, and then unwrap one book each night. I'm not nearly that cute. First, my wrapping skills are sub-par. Second, life is busy. Third, I like having the books out for the kids to read and re-read all month long.
Without further ado...
My Favorite, aka
The 25 Best Christmas Books for 2018
December 1st-
Such a sweet and fun story about tradition, some say the most important tradition, of picking out the family Christmas tree.

Such a tender story about the smallest little tree in the lot that has high hopes he'll be someone's Christmas tree.

December 4th-
Definitely a fun Christmas book in the classic If you... Numeroff formats. Plus, I felt it was fitting b/c going to the movies at Christmas is definitely a thing.
December 5th-
At first you think this is just another Gingerbread Man story, but this original story is just fun. Plus, there are a couple recipes in the back which are fun to make.
December 6th-
Cookies at this time of year is a big deal, and a Santa Dinosaur cookie that just wants to be appreciated makes for a fun story. It's a fun book especially if you've read, Cookiesaurus Rex.

It's hard not to love this Bad Kitty, but it's impossible when you see how sweet this adorable feline is.

Farmer Brown and his animals have quite an adventure at Christmas time waiting for Santa. I love the rhythm and the onomatopoeia's in this fun read aloud.
December 14th-
Tacky is one of my favorite penguins! He's definitely a little quirky, but "he's a nice penguin to have around." b/c he always seems to save the day.
December 15th-
Grumpy Mother Bruce, we all love him for his grumpy outer shell and soft lovable inside. This Santa Bruce version is just as fun of a read.
December 16th-
Even though this book is 13 years old, it is still a favorite Holiday read. The rhythm and rhyming makes for a great read aloud, and the adorable snowmen are hard not to love.
December 17th-
It's not as good as Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, but my construction loving kid can't get enough of this book.
December 18th-
It's all about finding the perfect gift. Tho, it's tough for the Pout-Pout Fish
December 19th-

December 20th-
This classic story had to make the list. It's a long story, but I love it enough I even quoted it on my Christmas cards. #nerd
December 21st-
This sweet story combines the song with the story of the nativity.
December 22nd-
With beautiful pictures and the story of the nativity told with the classic rhythm of Twas the Night Before Christmas. This book is definitely a book to read a little closer to the big day.
December 23rd-
It's a long story, but worth the time to read this beautiful and sweet story.
December 24th-
Of course this classic book makes the list; I love the story and the illustrations.
December 25th-
For Lego loving families, this classic story that is illustrated with Legos is a winner. It's a fun and unique take with the pictures. If your family loves Legos give this version of the classic a read.
Happy reading! Reading Holiday books to your kids is one way to get your kid to love reading. Holiday books are fun, and when reading is fun your child will want to do it again and again even when it is tough.
