Do you buy your kids new Christmas books every year? We tried that, but it got super expensive. Instead of breaking the bank on brand new books, I just look for Christmas books all year at consignment stores to add to our collection. Last year, I wanted to make reading fun, so we wrapped 25 books and let Livi unwrap one each day. She would wake up every morning and run to the book basket to choose a new book. I did number them so she knew which one to pick though. We thought about doing it again this year, but instead I just set them close to the tree so she can grab them whenever. Some of our favorites are extra special. The pages are scented, they came with gift tags or stickers, and some play music.
Here are the rest of the books. These were just picked up at Dollar General. They are short and easy enough that when Olivia starts reading, she can start with some of these.
Photos from last year when Olivia was opening them every day. Look at those smiles!
