I love children’s books and collected them for many years when my boys were small. We built up a pretty impressive collection during that time. Some of my absolute favorites were the Christmas picture books.

Every year after Thanksgiving I would gather all of the Christmas books and every night we would read a new Christmas story before bed. It was a tradition that we held onto for many years. It added to the excitement and magic of holidays.

I rounded up 25 of my very favorites that we have read year after year and enjoyed. I thought I would share them to provide some inspiration if you are looking to purchase some new Children’s Christmas books this holiday season.
