We LOVE books here. And wanted to start a tradition with the kids where they get 12 books wrapped and under the tree. (You can totally do 24 books, from December 1 – December 24^th … but… well, budget conscious here, haha. Let’s stick with the 12 days of Christmas.)

I wanted to share with you 12 books we will be wrapping under the tree this year in case it inspires you to pick out any for you and your family (or grandkids … or niece or nephew!)

And keep in mind, you don’t have to do all of them – you can also grab one and wrap it with a pair of Christmas Eve jammies and call it a day!

As always, I included my Amazon affiliate links below and so appreciate when you use them!

Day one: The first Christmas lift a board book

Day two: Merry Christmas, Daniel Tiger!: A Lift-the-Flap Book

Day three: The Spirit of Christmas

Day four: God Gave Us Christmas

Day five: Babies Love Christmas: Lift-a-Flap Board Book

Day six: Itsy Bitsy Christmas: You’re Never Too Little for His Love

Day seven: The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving

Day eight: Construction Site on Christmas Night

Day nine: Elmo’s Countdown to Christmas (Sesame Street) (Lift-the-Flap)

Day ten: Good Night Baby Jesus (Good Night Our World) 

 Day eleven: Little Blue Truck’s Christmas 

Day twelve: Christmas in the Manger     

Bonus suggestions of books we already have:

– Usborne Touchy Feely Nativity (I can’t recommend this one enough!)

– Curious Baby Curious about Christmas (Curious George touch-and-feel board book) 

– Usborne That’s Not My Snowman

I highly suggest, if you are going to order, you do it sooner vs. later because prices seem to soar on holiday-related items the closer to Christmas you wait! :) Happy shopping, wrapping, and reading!
