Favorite Christmas Books

I know before I even start that I'm going to want to constantly change this. I'm always finding new "favorites," but right now...

1. The Greatest Story Ever Told by Fulton Oursler - very beautifully written, thought provoking
2. Two From Galilee by Marjorie Holmes - Mary and Joseph's sweet story
3. The Bird's Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin - this book from 1886 is a favorite from my girlhood
4. The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans
5. Who Is Coming To Our House? by Joseph Slate and Ashley Wolffe - the best board book for toddlers
6. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore - I have at least four versions and love them all
7. Here Comes Santa Claus by Gene Autrey and Bruce Whatley - Rosie's favorite book this year, and the older kids loved/love it too.
8. Bright Christmas: An Angel Remembers by Andrew Clemens and Kate Kiesler - a storybook that I love more than my children do
9. The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski and P.J. Lynch
10. The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg - when I gave the girls Christmas bell necklaces on Sunday, Ethan said,"See, do you hear it? That means that you believe.."
