Each night of December, our family snuggles together by the tree, grabs a package from our special book basket, and unwraps a Christmas story. Most of these stories (which we reuse every year) I purchased at library sales or garage sales, though others I bought online or on sale in stores. We have one book for each day of December leading up to Christmas. The kids love unwrapping the surprise book each night, and remember these books from the Christmas before. Some of my favorites are Old Befana and The Legend of the Poinsettia, both by Tomie DePaola.
