Over the years, I have collected many, many, many, many Christmas books. Some have been given to us by dear family or friends, others from deals after Christmas or from the Scholastic Book Club- awesome prices!!!! Each year, they get packed away with all the Christmas decor so that next Christmas they seem brand new and fresh. The kids spend hours looking and reading them during the month of December. All these books usually end up being stacked in and around and behind and near my "Monthly Book Box" (I already admitted I'm insane- so sue me if you'd like ;). Well this year, thanks to our new neighbors & friends, the Larsens (Thanks for adding to our Holiday Freakiness, guys! We sure luv ya!), we are doing something new with our book pile.
In our friend's home (before or on December 1st ;) Momma Larsen wraps 24 Christmas books to place under the tree. Each night on the Countdown to Christmas, their cute girls get to unwrap a Christmas story to read before bed. Too cute! I just can't resist being a copycat. LOL! Thus was born the Seamons' Unwrap a Bedtime Story Advent Tradition. We're loving it!
15 days 'til Christmas!!
