Have you heard of the 25 Books of Christmas? My friend Leanne, introduced this idea to me and we have been doing this for the last three years! The idea is simple, collect all of the Christmas or winter books, that you have and then wrap them up to open one each night, prior to bed time. I wanted to review the titles that we have in our collection, as we head into our fourth year of doing this fun family tradition! I wanted to see if we had any duplicates or books that were not suited for my kids ages, as a few were baby books when I bought them. I will head back to our local Goodwill, and replace four of our books, as my boys have out grown the titles. I love that I can find great holiday books at our local book swaps, book sales, or local thrift stores often for less than a dollar.
