Christmas 2014 when I was cuddling my newborn baby boy I came across the idea of creating a book advent calendar from fellow blogger Oh So Amelia. We love advent calendars in our home and often have several of them to count down the days to Christmas.
This year, I decided to gather together my daughter's winter and Christmas themed books. I discovered that we have collected a rather large collection the last couple years and had enough to create an Advent Calendar of 24 days of books. I will wrap the books up and each day my daughter can rediscover one of her books.
If you wanted to this book advent calendar this year, the books do not need to be Christmas or winter books but can just be a bunch of books that you have not read for a couple months. You can even head to your local library to add to your collection for the month of December. I included a couple books for Baby Boy to enjoy and a couple activity books that will be useful though the month while traveling to Christmas adventures.
Below are some of my ideas of our family's favourite books.
