Childrens' bOOks for the Yulemas Holidays

Oh, do We LoVe bOOks around here!
I will post frequently about bOOks, treasures that they are. 
I can't remember a time when I didn't read....
from ding~turn the page~ disney books, 
to school chapter books, 
to the LIBRARY! 
What an interesting tale it would be if I took all the snippets of books I remember and put them together in One book! hmmm...
Naturally, The Man and I have passed this LoVe 
on to the LiTTLe Renters 
{ok, the kids} 
and Our books are breeding faster than mice! 
So its only right that we indulge in just as many HOLIDAY bOOks~

Here is Our at~this~moment Collection of Yulemas Spirit and Weaved Words, some would call stories:

Vintage, as in, Mine, from the early 70s ~

*Frosty the Snowman

*The Santa Claus Book

*The After~Christmas Tree{'92}
{great story of what to do with the Tree after the Holidays. Teaches how to give back.}


 
 ok, it just isn't the Holidays if there isn't a Holiday theme coloring/craft book. These are the best for stuffing those stockings; or to bring along when doing those MANY Holiday travels.



 These 3 are My Favorites. 

*The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus  
{by the brilliant creator of The Wizard of Oz, 
L. Frank Baum..notice the well worn copy!}

*The 12 Bugs of Christmas, a pop~up bOOk 
{Girl Sugar Plum's favorite}

*Russell's Christmas Magic
{Can I just tell You that Russell ROCKS! 
check out His other books too.}




There's some Classic
and
There's some Traditional :
*A Charlie Brown   
 Christmas 
*The Twelve Days of  
 Christmas
*Madeline's Christmas



and some newer ones:

 *The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever

                           *Holly the Christmas Fairy 
 
                           *One Enchanted Christmas

                           *Finding Christmas

                           *Auntie Claus

                           *Stories of Santa

Ahhh, bOOks.  

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. 
~Anna Quindlen, "Enough Bookshelves,"

TV.  If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six.  Open your child's imagination.  Open a book.
