For the month of December, we've decided to ditch our normal homeschool read-aloud books, in favor of Christmas stories! I think this decision has made everyone happy - me the most!
So each day, we're reading from my friend Mukkove Johnson's book Christmas is About Jesus. It's an advent devotional to be read to your kids, and this is our 3rd year going through it. We love it. Grab one for yourself, and those families you love - it makes a great gift. :) Each day of December leading up to Christmas has a short devotional, that works well for all my kids' ages.
The best place to buy the book would be directly from the author here: http://www.kovescove.com/booksthings.htm
Or from the publisher: http://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=978-1-60799-712-2
It is also available on Amazon (among others) and locally in bookstores!
We love the Little House books around these parts... and this last year I picked up a copy of A Little House Christmas Treasury! If you own the Little House series, you actually own this too - but I loved how the Christmas chapters from all of the books were bundled into this beautiful little package. So we're reading one or two chapters of this every day.. we've only got two chapters left, the kids love it that much!

Love the idea, Amanda! I'm honored you included mine :)
Very cool books, Amanda. Max Lucado is one of my Mom's favorite authors. The last book sounds very interesting. I had never thought about the powers of darkness that heaven's angels might have had to fight against to deliver Jesus to Mary's womb. However, it very well could have happened, when you consider all the other spiritual warfare that is involved with everyday life. Happy Reading to you and your's.
In Christ,
Bethany
