A Christmas Read

December first, out comes my bin of Christmas books (I have exactly 25 this year, wahoo!). Every night the kiddies take turns choosing a different one to read.

This usually turns into full-on warfare, but, I digress.

One of our favorites is The Polar Express. I love the meaning behind it ('cause in this house, if you don't believe, you don't receive), the girls love the idea of visiting the North Pole and getting a bell from Santa's sleigh, and Porter just likes the pictures of the train.

For your viewing pleasure, I have been keeping a list of the books we have read on the side of this blog... just in case you ask yourself at night what book the Merrills read that day.

Now you can know.

I have down a page on Christmas reading all three years that I've done this fun little Days of Christmas thing.

Notice a couple of trends in these pages?
