Whilst playing on Pinterest recently, I came across a brilliant idea which I have implemented in our house for this Christmas season. I am sure it is going to be a hit with the girls and will become one of our Christmas traditions from this point forth. (It didn't hurt that it involved wrapping presents which is something I really enjoy!)
The idea was to gather a basket of all your Christmas storybooks and wrap each one in Christmas paper. Then place the basket under your Christmas tree and each night, have a child choose a "gift", unwrap it and then read it together. What a beautiful way to enjoy all your Christmas stories each season. And what child doesn't enjoy unwrapping presents.
Now, I happen to have 18 Christmas storybooks in my possession. You may (or may not) have quite as many. Don't let that deter you from enjoying this tradition at your house. Just gather up some of your all time favourite storybooks to share over the month of December. Wrap them up in paper, place them in a basket and away you go. Don't panic if you miss a night or two either. December is a busy month with end of year functions and the like but on the nights when you do have the time, enjoy a little bit of special time together with a book.
So gorgeous - stealing that idea x
