My Favorite Christmas Books

December 18, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! Only a week until Christmas! I am so excited, like a kid in a candy store! I have been baking up a storm since last week, and have made cookies, breads, bars, candies and caramel corn. I might be experiencing a little sugar overload at this point.

In addition to all of my baking I have also been listening to lots of holiday music, watching a few holiday classics, enjoying the decorations and of course reading my favorite Christmas books.

I love rereading all of my favorites, Miracle on 34th Street, Charles Dickens Christmas Carol and so many more. Do you have some holiday books that you return to year after year? Or some that you love to read to your children or grandchildren?

My favorite thing to do at the end of a long day is sit by the Christmas tree with a cup of cocoa, a pile of books, Christmas magazines or letters and cards and read and enjoy the magic of Christmas. 

It really is “the little things in life.” I hope that you take the time to enjoy your family, friends and the spirit of the holidays.

    Elizabeth, I love "The Polar Express". I will, in fact, be reading it tomorrow at our Polar Express pajama party. After all these years of reading it I still have to pause and compose myself. It stirs up so much emotionally. Enjoy your evening with your book and hot chocolate. Bonnie

I fear that two of them are not going to make it because I do not see anything but one just popped above the ground! It is about 3/4" and I cannot wait to watch it grow over the next few years. #amaturegardner #quote #quoteoftheday #serinahernandez #gardeningquote
