My Favorite Holiday Books - Christmas

I pulled out all my holiday books and have been reading the Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa books to my second graders which got me thinking - why not share them with you? Maybe I have a favorite book you don't know and will pick up. Do you have a book that is not on this list that you love? Comment and let me know! I am also going to be mentioning a book a day on my Facebook page here with a detail or two about why I love them!

Click on the name of each book to get more details about it from Amazon. Happy holidays!
