As a child, the build up to Christmas is one of the most fun and exciting times of the year. The school holidays are coming up, the weather is promising days at the pool or the beach, and there’s the excitement of presents under the tree to look forward to.
Christmas books for kids is just another piece of the excitement at this festive, magical time of year. The fantastical themes come alive through words and pictures, and make for a wonderful tradition to read through in December each year. .
Classic children’s Christmas stories
There will always be fun new Christmas books for kids to discover, but it’s hard to ignore some of the most classic titles in this genre.
For example, beloved Children’s author Enid Blyton wrote the iconic Enid Blyton’s Christmas Stories, a collection of 25 wonderful festive tales that have been passed down from one generation to the next, delighting and inspiring every step of the way.
Another timeless classic is Clement C. Moore’s The Night Before Christmas. Many parents could probably already recall many of the lines from their own childhoods, so there’s something wonderful about passing on this all-time favourite to the little ones in your life.
