Throughout December, we read the story of Jesus’ birth from the Bible as part of our Advent tradition. But we also enjoy a variety of different Christmas books, from Christ-centered stories to ones of generosity & kindness, and then ones with a little Christmas whimsy ✨ 

I hope you’ve found some new stories to enjoy with your children this Christmas 📚🎄

Fairy tales are a non-negotiable in our home libra Fairy tales are a non-negotiable in our home library. Don’t skip them!

Fairy tales nurture a child’s imagination and moral development. They allow a safe way to explore the realities of the world (sometimes hard things), help them understand the difference between good and evil, and discover timeless truths through the beauty of storytelling. 

If you want your children’s imaginations to soar, let them listen to & read fairy tales!

*Quote attributed to Albert Einstein, paraphrased from a reported conversation with a young mother.

You’re invited to A Book-Filled Christmas 📚🌲 🕯️ You’re invited to A Book-Filled Christmas 📚🌲 🕯️ 

Christmas book lists, thoughtful gifts & books for everyone in your family, home library essentials, and a little inspiration for building a home filled with good books.

I really think building a home library is about so much more than collecting books. It’s about the stories we share, all the read aloud, the memories we make, and the love of reading we pass down to our children. 

I hope you’ll join me for a book-filled Christmas!
