our favorite christmas books

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is picking out a new Christmas book every year. Our collection is really growing because I’ve been doing it since McKenzie and Kasey were born (2008!). If you do the Elf on the Shelf tradition it would be a fun idea to have the elf bring a Christmas book on the first night every year!

That usually means eating a lot of turkey, ham, stuffing… all your basic holiday foods.
