Almost every day when my children were young, we had devotions and read-alouds — sometimes at night, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at tea times. I kept baskets of books everywhere — in every room, in the bathrooms, in their bedrooms. And each year on birthdays and Christmas and other holidays, they all received books as gifts and I helped each of them build their own libraries.
It was our goal to give our children the resources for brain food, feeding their imagination with what was good, true, beautiful.
Christmas is a wonderful time to engage with stories like this as a family, gathered by the fire with cookies and tea.
Our family has over 100 Christmas favorite titles — too many to share. But I hope you will enjoy some of these stories below.
