25 Books of Christmas

I have heard about others doing this and always wanted to do it. This year as I got out the Chrismas decorations, I counted the Christmas books and was surprised to find that we have 17, thanks to teaching school and Nana! I also ordered a Christmas pack through Benjamin's school book order so in a few days we should be at 24 with the Christmas Story from the scriptures in the mix also. I put up some small trees in the bonus room/playroom upstairs. Each night before bed we open a new Christmas book to read. Benjamin has loved opening the three book "presents" these past few nights. It has been something that he asked about all day long. I think this will be a new family tradition.

Hi! I love that tradition and I'm going to start it next year. (Love collecting holiday books too. It's always my fave part of decorating to pull the books for any holiday out of storage.)
