Every year I wrap 24 books and place them under a small Christmas Tree. Starting December 1st my daughter unwraps one each night. Then each night we sit together and read. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a busy time. People are running around buying presents, decorating, attending parties and everything else. Taking a little time each day to spend time together as a family can get lost. This is a wonderful way to make sure you take some time each day and spend time together.
The trick to having all 24 books ready to go by December 1st is spacing it out. Wrapping 24 books can be daunting. And buying 24 books all at once can break the bank. So I like to spread it out over the year and buy 2-3 each month, stick them in the closet and wrap them when I have spare time.
A few of my favorite places to buy books are Kohl’s (I love the Kohl’s Care books – not only is it easy on my budget but I’m helping a charity too!), Half Priced Books (these books are either gently used or brand new for a fraction of the price), Warehouse Clubs (like Sam’s Club or Costco), Book Fairs, Book Stores, Amazon and my local Target and Walmart.
Here are some wonderful books I have or will be using for our 24 books of Christmas. Click on each picture and you’ll be taken to a review of the book as well as where to purchase!
