Kate's Book Corner - The Christmas Edit
It may come as no surprise that Christmas is easily one of my favorite holidays. It goes without saying that the more I love the holiday the larger our collection of holiday books! The Christmas season was full of traditions in my house growing up and one of those was selecting a new holiday book to read every night. I loved when the Christmas books came out every year and spent hours poring over them. We do the same in our house although this year I've gone a step further and created a holiday advent calendar inspired by a blog post on Babyccino . I wanted to do this for years and you can follow along in my InstaStories as we unveil our book each night. So far it's been a huge hit!
All of our Christmas books have received a lot of love over the years but the eleven books in my Christmas Edit are at the top of my list for the age ranges in our household. I'd recommend Little Blue Truck's Christmas to anyone and everyone with little kids because no one can resist the lights on the tree at the end! The Jolly Christmas Postman, The Sweet Smell of Christmas and The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher were all some of my absolute favorites growing up. I still love to pull out the letters in The Jolly Christmas Postman, smell the scents from The Sweet Smell of Christmas and dream about baking Christmas cookies in the The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher.
My eldest can't get enough of the Olive, the Other Reindeer and Olivia helps with Christmas. I love the play on words in Olive, the Other Reindeer (genius + my grandmother's name is Olive) and any book involving Olivia the pig is a win in my book. She has so much spunk I hope it jumps off the page and passes to my own daughters. The Snowman and The Mitten are so beautifully illustrated and almost all of these books have lovely messages tied to them which makes them all the more important to read to our children.
Happy Reading!
