One of our favorite traditions for the last five years or so is to enjoy a big basket-full of Christmas-themed books for the month of December. I like to set up a cozy little reading area (near the glow of the Chrismtas tree) with beanbag chairs or a comfy pillow and blanket. Some of these books have been purchased at the book store half-priced at the bookstore after Christmas and MANY of them have been checked out from our local library. I've come to love the "reserve books" feature on our library's website. I reserve the books and pick them up all at once. No more searching high and low with my people in tow. So without further ado, here's a list of the books we enjoyed this Christmas. Some new to us, some well-loved favorites.
