Over the years, our family has developed a few cherished Christmas traditions: going through our Unwrapping the Names of Jesus Advent devotional together in the preceding weeks, watching a Christmas movie while drinking our favorite hot chocolate on Christmas Eve, and enjoying homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. We love it all, and the kids are old enough to start asking for/anticipating them. (Which I LOVE!)

One of my favorite yearly traditions, however, is buying them new Christmas books (and a Christmas movie) that they get to open on Christmas Eve. I don’t know how long I’ll continue doing it, but for now, it has become a treasured tradition.

Needless to say, then, we are starting to amass quite a collection of Christmas books for kids. Add to that all the ones we’ve checked out from the library, and we’re becoming quite the Christmas book aficionados!

If you want to adopt a similar tradition, or you simply need some good recommendations, check out our list of favorite Christmas books for kids.
