Favorite Christmas Books

Reading is a huge part of our homeschool. There are lots of days that consist of only reading books. It is my favorite part of homeschooling. My children have a love for reading as well. Since I have a nice sized home library, we choose books from our own shelves before going to the library. We do try to visit our local library at least once a month for additional books we are interested in reading.

Since Christmas is so close, I wanted to share a list of our favorite Christmas books. As a side note, we don’t do Santa Clause, so no books listed here will include the jolly old man in the red suit. If you incorporate Santa, there are tons of books available. The books on my list are mainly about the story of Jesus and a Christmas filled with His Presence.
