For the last few years, my family has done a countdown to Christmas with books. I wrap our Christmas books and every day counting down to Christmas we get to open one and read it.
Normally we start on December 1 and have 24 books to countdown to the day before Christmas. This year we're going out of town for Christmas, so I wrapped enough books to start the day after Thanksgiving and end the day before we leave for our Christmas vacation. You could easily adapt it to fewer days if you don't have that many Christmas books--it took us a few years to collect so many.
Besides the fact that it's fun to open a present every day, it demonstrates to children that books are a gift.
Do you have any Christmas traditions surrounding books? What is your favorite Christmas book?
