My Favorite Christmas Book

This week I’m going to share with you a few of the books I’ve been reading recently for various reasons–either on my own or with my kids, but for now I want to share with you the one our family is breaking open today. It’s called, “The ADVENTure of Christmas: Helping Children Find Jesus in our Holiday Traditions” by Lisa Welchel.

Seeing as it is December 1, we are going to take a walk through this amazing book this month. I went through this book with my kids quite a few years back, but they were preschool age then. I decided to dust it off and re-visit it again this year because I think my kids will get more out of it this time around.

It is a book full of the different traditions of Christmas and why we celebrate them. Many people think alot of the Christmas traditions are secular in nature. What this book helps you see is that they really got their start from people seeking to celebrate their Savior’s birth. I love that there are 25 different traditions with a simple history and then an equally simple activity to do with your kids. You can take this book and read it in its simplicity or you can expand it beyond measure. I am looking forward to going learning through this book alongside my kids because Christmas and the reason we celebrate it is certainly worth celebrating!
