Every year we do something similar, but on a smaller scale. Each child will recieve a hardcover book Christmas morning, not to play with now, but to save and take with them when they move out and start their own family. With 7 monkeys we now have a whole bookshelf. Thanks for sharing the idea. I absolutely love this idea, getting to open a present and reading a book together, awesome.

My kids are little, but a lot of them have grown chidren. They'd probably love to lend us some for December.

My children are 20 and 16 - probably too old to enjoy it, but maybe I'll talk them into it anyway. I know that I have at least 25 Christmas books. I have all the Christmas Little Golden books from when they were little. I love this! My children are 20 and 16 – probably too old to enjoy it, but maybe I’ll talk them into it anyway.

Maybe it could be a 12 Days of Christmas theme for the kids too. Kim – I love the 12 book for starters. Maybe it could be a 12 Days of Christmas theme for the kids too.

If you can get to a Scholastic Book Order from an Elementary teacher, there are great deals on books. You can also ask Grandmas to buy a book for your kids every year at Christmas. Grandmas usually love to be book givers. Another great book buying tip is to buy the $.99 books from Scholastic.
