Our Favorite Christmas Books


Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
illustrated by Susan Jeffers



The Legend of the Candy Cane



Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend
by Julie Stiegemeyer

OR



The Secret of St. Nicholas
by Ellen Nibali




A New Coat for Anna 
by Harriet Ziefert


This classic tale of redemption needs no explanation. I highly recommend it for big kids.


The Little Fir Tree

The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey

When a widow asks the town hermit to carve a nativity set for her son, a new friendship is slowly formed and a man gets a reminder of joy. We always follow up the book with the movie. Love both.
