15 Cherished Christmas Chapter Books

Don’t you love a wonderful Christmas story? The kind that offers peace, hope, and good will towards men?  Me too! Following is a list of my 15 most cherished Christmas chapter books to read aloud to the whole family or individually. Many of these are classics with a few newer selections thrown in. Please share your favorites in the comments.

I hope that December has been filled with wonderful memory making even as it highlights our depravity and utter need for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

You still have time to cuddle up with a good book and read past Christmas Day as we celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas and Three Kings Day.

Merry Reading and Merry Christmas!

Christmas Books for You To Enjoy This Year and Every Year

 

If you’re anything like me, you’ll prefer visiting the local Christmas Tree Farm and snuggling up with a good book on Black Friday over endless shopping with a pack of strangers. Having said that, there are several books that I chose from to read and reread each year during the Christmas Season. Plenty of picture books, an embarrassing number in fact, fill our Christmas book box and line our shelves (see a few here and here). However, there are a few chapter books that I preserve for independent reading and enjoyment on my own. Enjoy this list and let me know of few of your own!

 

 



P.S.

Our youngest daughter was (finally) adopted last week. I haven’t had a chance to write about the beautiful celebration date with it being so close to Thanksgiving, but I wanted to give you a sneak peak of our adoption day festivities. Thank you for your prayers and support. It has been a long, but worthwhile, wait. To God be the glory.

Read Alouds to Celebrate the Fourth of July

My family had the chance to visit Pike’s Peak a few years ago during our Colorado vacation. It was a beautiful sight to behold the inspiration for the patriotic song, America the Beautiful. This week, as we celebrate the founding of our country and the men who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to give the gift of freedom to us, here are a few books to provide inspiration and education. Happy Fourth of July to you and yours!

Unpacking Christmas Traditions

Unpacking Christmas 1

Seasons Greetings! For the next three weeks we will unpack Christmas together. Much like we unpack the holiday decorations for our home before we enjoy the sights and smells of Christmas, we will unpack the meaning behind the people, practices, and promises of Christmas. Today I invite you to begin with a closer look at three Christmas traditions:

  • Tangled Christmas Lights (here)
  • Ugly Christmas Boxes (here)
  • Why Our Children Know the Truth about Santa (here)

May today be merry and bright!
