We are on our 6th year of doing this Christmas countdown.  It really has become a fun family tradition.  Hopefully this year Michael will start reading the books on his own.

What you'll need for the Christmas book countdown:

24 Christmas books
wrapping paper
basket to hold the books in

You'll want to wrap 24 different Christmas books.  On December 1st through December 24th, your child will select one wrapped book and unwrap it.  That will be the book for that night.  As I said earlier, we've been doing this for many years and therefore the books have greatly changed through the years.  I've put the links to all our past countdowns so you can see what books we've used in the past.
