The holiday season has begun! Have you put up a Christmas tree yet? We put our tree up every year on the weekend after Thanksgiving and decorating becomes a family affair. My husband assembles our huge pre-lit tree and the boys and I decorate it. It’s one of my favorite family days out of the whole year!
There are so many wonderful books for kids about Christmas. There are books about Santa and gingerbread men and Christmas in general. Here are some of my favorite Christmas tree books for kids.
I have included Amazon affiliate links for your convenience. Just click on the book titles for more details about each one. (Please see my disclosure policy for more information.)

Fantastic list! I can’t wait to look for these at the library.
We don’t have as many Christmas books as I’d like, but these are definitely ones I’m going to look for at the library!
Oh I love Christmas books. This year we’re doing a book advent calendar. I wrapped up 24 Christmas themed books and each night we unwrap a new one at bedtime. I’m going to have to check out your list because as they kiddos get older I’m going to have to start replacing some of the books.
Love reading Christmas books to the kids! This is a great list. Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party! I’ve pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.
