Christmas Tradition...

We have a few Christmas traditions in our house and one of them we only started last year and the kids love it so now it is here to stay.  I have collected 24 Christmas stories and I wrap each one up and the kids pick one a night to read at bed time.  They are not labelled or anything they just pick which ever one tickles their fancy.  You can read about when we did this last year HERE.

I haven't wrapped the books yet and put them in the basket but I have collected a few new titles to replace ones that we have grown out of so I thought I would share our Christmas reading list with you.

Our 24 books in no particular order:

1. Mr Men, The Night Before Christmas by Roger Hargreaves
2. Mr Men, A Christmas Carol, by Roger Hargreaves
3. Mr Men, Little Miss Christmas, by Roger Hargreaves
4. Mr Men, 12 Days of Christmas, by Roger Hargreaves (you can't beat a Mr Men book really, the kids absolutely love them!)
5. Fair Dinkum Aussie Christmas
6. Christmas in Australia, by John Williamson (this has a cd with it)
7. Aussie Jingle Bells, by Colin Buchanan
8. An Aussie Night Before Christmas, by Yvonne Morrison

The last three titles are our new ones for the year.

The books will be wrapped and ready for December 1st this Saturday.  

I would really love to add the Polar Express to this list too, that will have to be one of next year's new books.  Do you have any Christmas titles you think I should add to my list?
