Baby Christmas Books

Is there anything cuter than baby Christmas books?

They are so delightful and joyful.

The moment I had children, I couldn’t wait to read with my babies. I just loved curling up with them in our rocking chair, enjoying the spirit of the holiday. 

From the chair, I could even look out into our backyard and take in the snow-covered trees.

It’s some of my favorite moments.
