It was the last day in November and I sat for an hour wrapping up books just so the girls would have something to unwrap each day till Christmas.  All but two of the books they have seen and read many many times before...  They love it and love not knowing what book they will get to read that night.  :) I do not pick out a read aloud for the month of December, but we just enjoy reading all our Christmas books that we gotten over the years.  Here is a look at the books we have enjoyed over the month.

We love books and to read.  I have made list of the books that we would read for the month and posted on here.  And then we end up doing something different.  So this year I'm going to try something a little different this year.  I'm going to keep a list of the books that the girls read and the ones that we read aloud.  At the end of the month I will make a blog post with the list and a few words on a few of them.  I hope that works better for me.  :)

We would love to hear what your favorite Christmas books are.
