Christmas Book Countdown

    Hello December! We are very happy that you are here! This year we are super happy to be starting a new tradition: a Christmas book countdown. Over the last month I have been adding to our existing collection so that we could have 24 books to read every night until Christmas morning. On Christmas morning we will read one final book, The Christmas Baby by Marion Dane Bauer.

Our list of 25 books include:

    While Connor napped today, I wrapped his books and labeled them with black and white numbered tags that I found on Simple As That. I added red and white twine to a few of them for a little pop of color. I think they look super cute!

I placed them in a basket that I had laying around the house. They will stay under the Christmas tree until the end of Christmas, then I'll store them with all of our Christmas stuff for next year. 

     Connor has no idea that he is going to be able to open a book every night, so I am really excited to see his reaction. We read books on a nightly basis, so this Christmas book countdown works perfect for us.
