Christmas time is the season of traditions and remembrances. One of my family’s favorite traditions has always been reading Christmas books together. I remember as a kid that our family would gather in the living room near the Christmas tree and read aloud Christmas books that we enjoyed. I would look forward to reading those books each year and still do enjoy reading many of those same books.
With that in mind, here are 25 Christmas Books that are perfect for reading with the kids and the rest of the family. You will notice that I have inserted age ranges next to the book titles so that you will know the earliest ages at which these books will be readable by the kiddos. I feel confident that family members of all ages will enjoy these Christmas Books.
