5 Christmas books on my wish list

It’s that time of year again. The time of year where we enjoy long summer nights, cooking treats, gathering with family and friends and being asked multiple times a day ‘is it Christmas yet?’. Things are a bit crazy this year so we don’t have the tree up or Christmas books out yet - but I HAVE started my Christmas book wish list. This is the list so far…

Pick A Pine Tree

Christmas starts with picking a pine tree! Brimming over with the excitement of being with family at the festive season, a gorgeously rhythmical, read-aloud narrative accompanied by warm, joyful art celebrates all the familiar rituals of decorating the tree - from digging out jam-packed boxes of trimmings, stringing tinsel, to, at last, turning on those twinkly fairy lights.

A Boy Called Christmas

Before there was Santa Claus, there was a young boy who believed in the impossible. . . . Eleven-year-old Nikolas - nicknamed Christmas - has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he's happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him.

Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things-if only he can reach his father before it's too late. . . .

The Crayons' Christmas

Tis the season for all of us to write our Christmas wish lists. But everyone knows - even the Crayons - that the best presents are the ones that you give. In this unique book, readers join in as Duncan, the Crayons and their families celebrate the festive season. With real, folded letters to pull from their envelopes and read, games, press-out ornaments, a poster and a pop-up tree, this book is the perfect gift for fans of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home.

That Christmas

Christmas is the same every year, isn't it? Same food, same routine, same visiting the neighbours and going for a walk. Except for the year of That Christmas.
At that Christmas suddenly children get the chance to make their wildest festive dreams come true...
Find out what happens when traditions are upturned, when chaos reigns, and what's really important when people come together...

The Jolly Christmas Postman

It's Christmas Eve and the Jolly Postman is delivering greetings to everyone's favourite fairy-tale characters.
He has a card for Baby Bear, a game for Red Riding Hood, a get-well jigsaw for poor Humpty Dumpty and lots more packages to deliver!
The Jolly Postman keeps on peddling his bicycle up hill and down dale. . . and into everybody's hearts.

I can’t wait to add these to our collection this year to get the festivities started!
