Advent Book Calendar
This Christmas, I wanted to create a fun & memorable tradition with my kids to celebrate the season & make it even more special. Since we LOVE reading, I decided to incorporate books into an advent calendar as a way to countdown to Christmas. Every night, the kids will choose a book from under the tree to unwrap & read before bed. It will be a nice opportunity for us to talk about advent & the reason for the season while spending some quality time together. I have free printable tags for you guys to number your books, along with a list of books I’m including in the calendar!
Life has been super crazy lately, so I’m really trying to simplify this holiday season & spend more time doing meaningful things with my kids. I figured, what better way to celebrate Christmas than with some new books & quality time spent together reading them?
I have a few Christmas books included in the advent book calendar, but most of them are classic books that can sit on our shelves all year round.
