*~It’s the most, wonderful time of the year~*

Happy Holidays, Mai Friends! It is officially Christmas season: the time of year for holiday lights, dangling ornaments, joyful carolers, gingerbread houses, gift-giving, family gathering, and decorated sugar cookies ( just to name a *few* of mai favorites).

Some of mai favorite Christmas traditions: annual Christmas potluck party and white elephant gift exchange with family and close-friends, decorating Sugar Cookies on Christmas Eve, cooking Christmas dinner together with mai siblings, and opening stockings by the fireplace on Christmas night.

And, of course, mai other favorite way to celebrate: Reading all the Christmas Books There’s nothing cozier than curling up under a red velvet blanket on the couch, sipping a mug of hot cocoa, Christmas carols softly playing the background, and reading a Christmas story by the warm glow of the Christmas tree lights~ all made even more special with Mai Little Love snuggling right next to me.

To celebrate the Christmas season: I’ve curated this collection of Christmas books, Book-Inspired Crafts, and Interactive Read Alouds to bring some holiday spirit your way! Enjoy some Christmas bookish fun with your little learners this December~ and let me know what some of your own favorite Christmas books and traditions are!
