Sammie has been having special Christmas reading time with her daddy every night. And they are reading a very special book. They are reading,
Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas Treasury for Kids: A Story a Day from December 1st through Christmas for Kids and Their Families
We just love this book – we got it at one of the school book fairs several years ago and I think it is so precious that Sammie is calling Mark into her room to read it with her every night. The book is made up of 25 very special Christmas stories, sent in by people just like you and me. They tell stories of children at Christmas time fully realizing the true meaning of Christmas.
So you start reading on December 1st, and you have a story to read every night. It is a lovely tradition to have with your family. And while I am a little sad that I’m not reading the book with her every night, I am thoroughly pleased that she and her father are so close and are enjoying that together.
And of course, you know I had to photograph it and blog it! Ha! Here they are, aren’t they precious?
I will give one warning, though – I can’t remember which story it is, but, one of them will give great hints to little Santa-believers. I will have to look it up and tell you what I’m talking about. I just remember the first year that we got it, as I’m reading aloud to the kids (who mostly still believed) stumbling across a line that stopped me in my tracks and left me scrambling for a way to recover! Haha! It was awful! So just be careful!
Sounds like an awesome book. That series is wonderful!
It is – it’s a really sweet book!
