The Homeschool chick is hosting the Hip Homeschool Hop today. Stop by to join in.
Today I was thinking about the Christmas books we will be reading this year.
Aside from 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, which we always read on Christmas Eve, my kids will be reading a few other holiday books this year. I thought I'd share them here.
They're all great.
My son (8th grade) will be reading O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi. This will be a book club book for his bookclub. I'm going to have the kids do a couple of activities to go along with it. One is to make christmas ornaments to give to a loved one. The other is they are going to make each other a snack based on personal preferences. The couple in the book wanted to give each other something that was just what the other needed/wanted. So, the kids are going to have to take into consideration all the tastes and preferences of their friend in order to give them a snack they would most enjoy.
My daughter (2nd grade) will be reading Mooseltoe by Henry Cole. This is a really funny book! We also have Moosetache.
We are also reading Jotham's Journey. It is an advent tale designed to read one section each night of advent. So far, the kids are really enjoying it.
And I'm sure we'll pick up a few more Christmas books next time we are at the library!
What are your favorite Christmas books or stories?
