Each year we like to share the meaning of Christmas with our kids. We have done fun Christmas stories in the past but this year wanted to focus more on the Christside of Christmas. In doing so we are not only making family time for the ABC Family 25 Day of Christmas movies we are also doing our own 25 days of Christmas Books that share different aspects of Christmas. We aren't reading them in any order we will actually stack them on our book shelf and let the kids pick one each night to read before bed .
