Take a look at fifty of the best Christmas Books for Children! Books to add to your family’s shelf and Christmas Traditions.

50 of the Best Christmas Books for Children

Do you have any Christmas Traditions? As a larger family of seven, it was important to my husband and I to instill some traditions that were just for our family.

Growing up, my grandfather always read The Night Before Christmas, but now with our kids the books have changed. Some of our favorites are Humphrey’s First Christmas  (SERIOUSLY a must!), Christmas in the Manger Board Book  and another must (especially for young kids) Who Is Coming to Our House?  We put together some of the top 50 Christmas books for Children this holiday season.

Don’t forget our other Christmas Tradition, The Elf on the Shelf!
