Just for fun, I wrapped 24 books for David to unwrap in the days leading up to Christmas. Some are Christmas books, and some are winter-related. (Don’t tell David, but most of them came off of our bookshelf.) It’s a good after-breakfast activity.
Here’s the list:
1) First Picture Book of Christmas Carols – illustrated by Mary McClain
2) The Christmas Story – Pingry
3) Who is Coming to Our House? Slate & Wolff
4) Baby Jesus is Here – Holley Gerth
5) Winter is Here – Weinberger & Dubin
6) One Night in Bethlehem – Lord
7) Touch & Feel Christmas – Henning

9) My Very First Christmas – Rock
10) The Little Drummer Boy – Keats
11) Come and See – Mayper
12) The Snowy Day – Keats
13) The Story of Christmas – Pingry
14) This is the Stable – Cotten
15) The Story of Jesus – Pingry

17) Where is Home, Little Pip? -Wilson & Chapman
18) Christmas in the Manger – Buck

What a great idea! So much better than most of the “advent” calendars you can buy. And he will never know you already had the books! I like your blogging adventure too!
Thanks Lorraine!
