Christmas Tree Books for Kids

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.
