Completely Ready

Am I completely ready for Christmas?  



Not really…

Am I ready to read?  Especially to kiddos? You betcha!

I love Children’s books.  I especially love Children’s Christmas books.  The classics.

This particular one has been around for awhile…

My favorite page as a child….

What can I say, I have a sweet tooth!

When my kids were young, we gave them a new Christmas book on the first Sunday in Advent every year.  Some were serious….

Some super silly….

The year we got “How Murray Saved Christmas”, Number One Son was about 11.  I can still hear his laughter!  He rolled on the couch clutching his side he was laughing so hard.

A fun, fun book….I give it two thumbs way up!

“Who is Coming To Our House” is a delight to read to small ones…

(I read this tonight, thanks to the wonders of modern technology and Facetimed with THE Grandkids.  Little E at two, loved the animals…)

When my kids were in elementary school, they LOVED Junie B. Jones, (I still do)!  Junie B. just cracks me up!  

If I had to only pick one Christmas book…this would be it. 

“The Nativity” combines the biblical story in age old text with beautiful, colorful ‘real’ imagery, that sheds a new view of the most important story of Christmas.

I am ready for kids (of all sizes)…books and kids…they bless me so.

    Merry Christmas Waltons,
    We too have our stash of Christmas books and bring them out to read every year. (If Pam is the “Skinny Cousin” I don’t want to know what that makes me.)
    Happy Holidays & a Joyful New Year,
    Rob & Candy Scott

    What a great idea! I am going to read to my little loves on the internet! I love my stash of Christmas books, too!!!

      It is the best! You can turn your phone around so they see the book and you still see their faces!

    I have that one, too (The Night Before Christmas)! I love it! And a whole stash of other Christmas children’s books. I’ve gotten rid of some Christmas decorations, but never the books!

      I am with you! Some decorations do not make the cut, but the books are the best! Love you, Skinny Cousin!
