"Read"down to Christmas

I love a good Christmas story. We have a nice big binder filled with them and every year I pull it out and (usually)have a good cry as I read them to the girls. I decided this year to change things up a bit. We have acquired a little collection of Christmas Books over the years and we had enough to create a countdown. With Emmrey asking every day "how many more days til Christmas?", I figured this was a great idea. I wrapped each book and placed them under our Family Tree. Each night the girls take turns opening a book and then we read it. Great way to countdown, read and enjoy Christmas stories together by the light of the tree...a win-win-win scenario:)
