The titles I have to give away are some of our favorites!
- The Peterkins’ Christmas — a picture book adaptation of Lucretia Hale’s stories by Elizabeth Spurr. Truly hilarious! Wendy Anderson Halperin’s illustrations are the icing on the cake.
- Silver Packages by Cynthia Rylant — A package delivered by a man on a train helps make a little boy’s dreams come true.
- The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado–I consider this one a modern classic.
- If You Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff–Who doesn’t love the mouse? Kids sure do.
- Christmas in the Big Woods (My First Little House Books), adapted from the book.
(The first three books are hardbacks; the last two are paperbacks.)
If you’d like to win this nice little book package (and who doesn’t love a package of books this time of year? 🙂 ), just leave me a comment telling me something about your Christmas: favorite book, favorite movie, something.
This giveaway will close on Thursday, December 1, at 7 p.m.

I’m looking forward to doing a book basket this year – although most of the books will be from the library.
This is the first year Tirzah Mae really knows what is going on for Christmas so I have all sorts of plans – the first of which is to do stockings on St. Nicholas Day (we travel over Christmas itself, so that’ll give us a chance to have a little Christmas all to ourselves.)
We had lots of fun decorating the house for Christmas this year. DH found a set of Twelve Days of Christmas figurines. They are lovely.
Song – I heard the bells on Chritmas Day
Book – The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Movie – Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf
Favorite Traditions-
Watching a different Christmas movies everyday in December
Book basket – We read one each night for 7 nights
Loading the kids up and going to see the lights.
Reading the Christmas Story Christmas Eve.
Breakfast on Christmas morning
I always loved reading books set in winter and around Christmas time! There is nothing cozier than cuddling up with a book, blanket and a hot cup of tea on Christmas. The colorful lights and the smell of pine! I always find that enjoyable!
My favorite christmS book growing up was Hillary Knight’s ” The Twelve Days of Christmas”. The illustrations are wonderful. We don’t have many Christmas books in our family yet but hoping to add some each year. We usually read – and savor – Christmas books from the library at afternoon tea time daily during December. Would LOVE TO HAVE THESE BOOKS!!!’
We have a book that Hannah got for Christmas from mama and daddy in 1995 when she was a year old. The book is … The very best Christmas present. By Jim Razzi! It’s about a man and a cat! It’s a sweet book and I read it every year! I also love Alabastet’s Song by Max Lucado!
My favorite song is Silent Night and my favorite movies are Bells of St. Mary’s and It’s a wonderful life. Thank you for a chance at this awesome giveaway! We don’t have any of these books 🙂
We love our Christmas book basket – thanks for the idea! Our favorite titles include An Orange for Frankie (Polacco); Unwrapping the Greatest Gift (Voskamp); Great Joy (DiCamillo) and A Tree for Peter (Seredy).
My favorite Christmas carol is Hark! the Herald Angels Sing.
We love to read The Christmas Orange every year (even though I bawl like a baby every time I do!). My aunt started this lovely tradition a few years ago of giving every family a picture Christmas book at our annual Christmas party, and it’s helped us to build such a beautiful little library for our 19-month-old daughter.
We don’t have any of these books though! (And I haven’t even heard of half of them!)
This year, my favorite thing about Christmas is watching my toddler rearrange the tree ornaments, 6 or 7 times a day. ❤️
