My favorite Christmas Books

One of the great traditions of Christmas that was done by my mother was the reading of Christmas Stories. I love it. Every year we would get a new book and add it to the collection. My mother had the most wonderful reading voice.

"The Three Trees One of my favorites
"The Crippled Lamb". This is my new pick for this year. Tear jerker.
"Great Joy". The pictures in this one are amazing!
Fond memories of "The Other Wise Man". My mother used to read this to us every Christmas Eve. It can make me cry just by looking at the cover. If this is the only Christmas book you ever get, it goes beyond Christmas Day and focuses on the life of the Savior.
The Gift of the Magi. Old standby. I bought this the year I was so very poor during Christmas. It was a wonderful way to remember that no matter how bad it gets, it's not that bad.
The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree. Once again, cute pictures and fun for kids.
Another Childhood memory. The Sweet Smell of Christmas. A scratch and sniff book. WANT IT. LOVE IT!!!
Anna's Christmas List Miracle. Beautiful Book
The Christas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey helps us remember that the atonement of Jesus Christ is for all of us - those who have sinned, those who have been sinned against, and those who are grieving for the innocent loss of life. Beautiful message.
The Little Shephard Girl. Sweet message, beautiful pictures.
