25 Favorite Christmas Books
Alongside the Christmas decorations, come a small stack of books that have been stowed away for 11 long months. Reading special holiday stories is a tradition in our family, and so each year I make a list of Christmas books to place on hold at my library. Each year I refine our list and add new favorites we’ve discovered.
Here is our Christmas book list for 2018. There’s a mix of serious and magical, some are classics and others are newly released. I think these make excellent gifts, and it’s also wonderful to be able to check them out from your library and not need to store them in your home. Either way, I hope you discover some special books for your own family!

Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a must read for our family every Christmas!!! And this year we tried “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and my 7.5, 6, and 4 year old did well! Then we watched Muppet Christmas Carol. My local libraries/bookstores don’t carry the Barbara Cooney books you mentioned, and I have seen them recommended a few times now. I might have to find them used online somewhere.
