Christmas Book Advent Calendar

I first saw the idea of a Christmas book Advent calendar on Pinterest and I thought it was a great idea!  But I had to make my own list.  I’m not anti-Santa but he’s  never been a major part of our Christmas celebration.  So I thought I’d create a list of Christmas books that focus more on the true meaning of the holiday.

Christmas Book Advent Calendar, 24 books to read with your children that focus on the true meaning of Christmas | DuctTapeAndDenim.comThis post contains affiliate links.  You won’t pay any more when you use these but I will earn a small commission on any purchases you make after clicking on them and I greatly appreciate it.  Thanks for helping support my little blog!!!

The idea is to wrap and number 25 books.  Each night your kids get to unwrap a new Christmas story to read together as a family.

If you decide to do this please don’t think you have to go out and buy 25 books all the first year.  Start with what you have and add a couple of books every year.  You could even wrap library books… as long as you remember where they are before they’re due!

My Christmas Book Advent Calendar List

  • Clopper the Christmas Donkey – This has become a tradition for us at our church.  The kids LOVE Clopper!
  • Benjamin’s Sling – The story of a shepherd boy in Bethlehem.
