With Christmas around the corner, one of my favorite things to do with my kids is sit down and read a big pile of Christmas books. If we happen to have a fire in our fireplace and some hot chocolate, even better! Last year, I got a bit tired of reading the same holiday books for more than a month at a time, so this year, I added a few to our collection. With those and a trip to our local library, we have a nice selection to read from this year!

In case anyone is looking for some Montessori friendly options for Christmas, I thought I would share the Montessori friendly Christmas books that are on our shelves this year!
Row 1: Lucy & Tom at Christmas | Night Tree | Henry and Mudge and a Very Merry Christmas | Christmas in Noisy Village | How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Row 3: The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree: An Appalachian Story | The Christmas Story | The Little Drummer Boy | Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend | The Nativity
Row 4: The Night Before Christmas | B Is for Bethlehem: A Christmas Alphabet | Christmas | The Story of Christmas | Little Christmas Tree
You may notice that we do have some Christmas classics involving on our shelves as well. In our family, we do have Santa as part of our tradition. We have chosen not to lie to our kids or to say that he is real, but they do get a small gift from "him" and we don't specifically say he isn't real either. We let the kids believe but if they were to ask, we would be honest. It's sort of a middle ground that works well for us. But, it really isn't what we focus on during the holiday season.
Is reading part of your holiday traditions? Which Christmas books are your favorites?
