Unwrapping Magic: A Joyful Tradition of Gifting A Kids Christmas Book Each Year!

December 10, 2022

A heartwarming tradition my mom has started for my kids each year is on Thanksgiving she gifts them a shiny new Christmas book–it’s like gifting a sprinkle of holiday magic that they can unwrap again and again! These aren’t just books – they’re doorways to winter wonderlands, tales of holiday adventures, and heartwarming stories of love and togetherness. That’s what the holiday is about, right? Togetherness.

The countdown to Christmas is a major deal in our home. So as the fall festivities begin to fade out, the air gets frosty, and the twinkling lights start to dance, the excitement in our home amps up a notch or two. The yearly tradition of a new kids Christmas book kicks off this excitement. These Christmas books aren’t just read; they’re lived, cherished, and tucked away in our memories.

If you’re looking for an easy way to sprinkle extra enchantment into your kid’s holiday season, why not join us in this merry tradition? It’s a chance to create cherished memories and remind us that the magic of Christmas is not just found in presents under the tree, but also in the stories we share.

“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas on the Farm” by Craig Manning

Step into a world where the magic of Christmas meets the charm of the farmyard in “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas on the Farm.”This delightful children’s book brings a fresh twist to a beloved classic, transporting young readers to a cozy rural setting where animals are just as excited for Santa’s visit as children are.

“Bear Stays Up for Christmas” by Karma Wilson & Jane Chapman

In the charming tale “Bear Stays Up for Christmas,” Bear usually hibernates through the winter, but this year, his friends are determined to keep him awake for the most magical time of the year. As they joyfully engage in holiday preparations, from decorating the tree to baking delicious treats, Bear discovers the joy of staying up and sharing special moments with his dear companions.

Books, Books to Film, Turner Classic Movies, and Outlander are topics (aside from my kids, husband, & two cats) that elicit instant joy for me. Here at 'Home With Two' you'll find those topics in plenty -- amongst so much more! Thank you for being here!

Daisy Jones & The Six — one of my favorite book adaptations ever. 📚 More books need to be made into a limited TV series rather than crammed into a movie.  #daisyjonesandthesix #bookadaptation #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookflatlay

This is one of the best historical fiction books I’ve ever read (listened to, thank you @netgalley). If you have the chance to get your hands on this one, READ IT! 

It doesn’t just tell you what happened in history, it truly makes you feel it. It educates you and moves you all at the same time. Thank you @tammyehuf I’ll read anything you write.

My #ThoughtDaughter book stack from July—the month I tried to pick a theme that resonated the most with me. My standouts: Alone With You In The Ether, The Virgin Suicides, and My Year Of Rest and Relaxation which I think about every time I buy an iced coffee and consider buying a second. #bookstagram #bookstack #myyearofrestandrelaxation #alonewithyouintheether
