Below you'll find a list of some of our favorite Christmas books that we've collected over the years:
* "Baker's Dozen - A Saint Nicholas Tale" by Aaron Shepard (a good one to read on St. Nicholas Day - today!)
* "Santa Comes to Little House" from "Little House on the Prairie" by Laura Ingalls Wilder, illustrated by Renee Graef
* "One Wintry Night" by Ruth Bell Graham (beautiful illustrations with a rich story)
* "Jotham's Journey" & "Bartholomew's Passage" by Arnold Ytreeide (to read day-by-day through Advent)
* "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" by Dr. Seuss (so much fun to read aloud!)
* "The Crippled Lamb" by Max Lucado (one of Eli's favorites because of all the animals)
* "The Wild Christmas Reindeer" by Jan Brett (Jan Brett's colorful and creative illustrations set her books off)
* "Franklin's Christmas Gift" by Paulette Bourgeois (nothing intense but I love sweet Franklin the Turtle!)
* "Silent Night - A Mouse Tale" by Betsy Hernandez & Donny Monk (I've used this one to read to my Sunday school class about the history of the song "Silent Night")

Joseph and I enjoy Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury which includes several of her stories. He got it for his 1st birthday and we read the stories many times during Dec/Jan. The last two times we went to the library I picked up one of her books. I like the stories and the illustrations probably more than Joseph.
Good to hear from you. I thought of Joseph on his birthday - hope he had a great day.
