Holiday Books

So my sister asked for some suggestions of books to either buy or get from the library. These are not necessarily in order because hello, I am way too indecisive for that. And boy howdy how long has it taken me to finish this post. In my defense my family has been pretty busy. Sister and brother in law welcomed a little girl and brother and sister in law welcomed a little boy. Both in the space of what ... 10 days? ;]


My Penguin Osbert

Is it the bowling pin penguin or the name Osbert? I love them both. What an idea ... get a penguin from Santa! Always have interesting discussions with little guys about the pros and cons of such an animal as a housepet.




Bear's First Christmas

I love this one for the pictures. So soft.






Uncles and Antlers

This one makes me laugh. Especially the Uncle from Texas and the one that looks like Elvis.





How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Um, hello. NO EXPLANATION NEEDED! Never seen this movie. Or, let me clarify. The live action version. The classic cartoon is awesome.




It's Time for Christmas

Love Duck and Goose. This is a little board book and my niece and I like to read it together. She has it pretty much memorized.





The Longest Christmas List

Greediness makes for funny times. And a writing prompt. !]




Mr. Willoughby's Christmas Tree

Upcycling at its finest. And, even more importantly ... the true spirit of sharing.




The Polar Express

Can I admit I've never actually seen this movie? Every year I swear I am going to dress up in my PJs and be an honorary 1st grader for the day. And then stuff comes up. :[ I LOVE Liam Nissan's recording. Is that how you spell Liam Nissan? I should go look it up.




The Night Before Christmas

I just love James Marshall's illustrations.





Volume Two to come next week because as soon as I hit publish I'm sure to think of one I forgot!
