25 Books of Christmas

As I mentioned in my last post, one tradition we are starting this year with Zaylen is the 25 books of Christmas. This is a collection of Christmas themed books that are read one at a time, each night from December 1st through Christmas Day. I have seen some moms do this before and I think it is such a sweet thing! Zaylen enjoys books, more so when Daddy reads, and we thought this would be a neat way to incorporate more books into his daily life and it would give us some more family time. It's a win-win! 

It was fairly easy getting 25 Christmas books. Nineteen books alone came from my childhood collection and passed down from family, and the remaining were found at thrift shops. All in all, I paid maybe $5 for them all, you can't beat that!! So here is our book list this year...


1. Christmastime Is Here
A Little People book that has pages of flaps to open and explore

2. The 12 Dogs of Christmas
Based on "The 12 Days of Christmas", but with adorable dogs

3. 12 Days of Christmas
The real "12 Days of Christmas" just made into a fun accordion style

4. The Little Drummer Boy (1)
A basic version of the story

5. The Little Drummer Boy (2)
A cartoon version with music to enjoy during the story
