Favorite Christmas Picture Books--List #2

-
This is list #2 of Favorite Christmas Picture Books.
These books always put me in the holiday spirit.
This book tells a story that each of us needs to hear (and not just at Christmastime.)
I'm sure that The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey is destined to become a classic.
Every father of a little boy needs to read this book.
I love this book because it tells a wonderful story of sibling rivalry and sibling love. It is also set in Abilene, Texas where there is a statue dedicated to the story at
Anything by Patricia Polacco is wonderful!

What are some of your favorites?

Happy Reading and Merry Christmas!

Remember when we went to the Santa Calls statue together in Abilene and took pictures?! Such fun!

Let's see . . . The Amazing Christmas Extravaganza by David Shannon has a good message too.

I am reading that one to my students next week.

Also, The Twelve Bugs of Christmas is just cute!

And, finally, Silent Night, the Song and It's Story is a wonderful book about how this popular Christmas song began

So many great books that I would love to read. I don't see the book that I just bought in London for Jordan, called Father Christmas Needs a Wee. I'm sure if you would read it, it would make your list!!!!

Thank you for sharing your lists! I'll have to add a couple of these to my collection-- of course, pretty soon we're going to have to start reading Christmas stories in Octobers so that we can get to all of them by Christmas. :)

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
