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!

Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

As a serial highlighter and tabber, this book would have been ABSOLUTELY COVERED in little tabs if it was a physical copy. My Kindle highlights will have to suffice until pub day (June 2027) because I have so many thoughts. 

the ghosts, the art, the wasps, the homewrecking…

This book was strange, sad, funny, beautifully unsettling, and somehow incredibly comforting all at once… and I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My full review ⚠️with spoilers ⚠️ is up on the blog!
