On the ABCJesusLovesMe Facebook Group, Helen shared an idea that she found on Pinterest to wrap and read one book per day as a countdown to Christmas or for Advent. I love the idea!
There is a plethora of wonderful children’s books focusing on Christmas so I assumed that finding 25 quality books would be a cinch. But in my search, I found most of the lists contained books that focused on the commercial side of the holiday. So with the help of some precious ladies in our group, I compiled a list that intermixes fun and teaching the true meaning of Christmas.
The books in this post have been updated on this page: The Best Christmas Books. Also view Christmas books on the ABCJLM Amazon Shop.

I would love to add a brand new (2014) book to his list. It is a book called God Bless Our Christmas by Hannah C. Hall with illustrations by Steve Whitlow. We love their first book God Bless You and Good Night. It is our brand new go-to baby shower/baptism/birthday present book for the little ones in our lives. We ran across their new Christmas book and bought it as soon as it came out and we have not been disappointed by the adorable illustrations. My son (18 months) loves to read her books over and over agani!
Thank you for sharing. I will take a look!
Another great board book for Christmas time is The Donkey's Christmas Song by Nancy Tafuri. My baby/toddler laughs each time the donkey "sings" (just like Jesus laughs in the story)
I will look for this one. Thanks for sharing!
The biggest snowman ever and god gave us Christmas are both on sale for $1 through scholastic. At least they were Nov 18th when I ordered them 🙂
Thank you! That is a great deal!
I would also love to add ' Birds of Bethlehem' – The nativity story from a birds eye view.
That sounds fun! Thanks for sharing.
