I need ideas for lovely Christmas books.

[OvO]

Thanking you muchly.

The Jolly Christmas Postman arrived this morning and is so very luffly. I need more like this. I need 24 books so I can wrap them all individually and put them all out on Dec 1st and my DS's can take turns choosing each night.

I have a few others but nowhere near enough. My boys are 4 and 7 ( though 5 and 8 by Christmas!).

What are your favourites, pretty please.

The Snowman - Raymond Briggs
Father Christmas - Raymond Briggs
There is a Thomas book set at Christmas and also a Mr Man one, a version of 'A Christmas Carols, although don't really want to go rummaging around in DS's room to look for their exact titles right now.

That's such a lovely idea! I am shamelessly stealing it. At 2 1/2 I'm not sure DS1 will appreciate it as much as me but tough!

Twas the night before Christmas... A classic!

Sea, I stole the idea from Pinterest!

Bike, thank you for the ideas, I'm going to check eBay right now.

Lovely idea!

The Night Before The Night Before Christmas by Richard Scarry
A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe and Michael Glenn Monroe
Mog's Christmas Judith Kerr
The Christmas Bear by Ian Whybrow and Axel Scheffler

Gary, that's one of the few I already have.

The Polar Express, Chris Van Allsburg

Also we have a nice version of Twas the Night before Christmas and a Nativity story from m&s for a pound each.

Thank you very much, lots of ideas already. DH won't know what's hit him when he next looks at his eBay watch list.

I want to steal this idea!!

Father Christmas needs a wee!

Oh I need that pop up one and how Santa really works!

I haven't had time to check everyone's yet but will do. You are all fab.

I had a lovely version of The Twelve Days of Christmas as a child which I read again and again. I can't see it on Amazon, but I would look through them in a bookshop and pick one you like.

The Tomten and The Tomten And The Fox are wonderful winter books - not Christmassy exactly but they are so snowy and beautiful that I think they would fit.

The Tailor of Gloucester.

Olive the other reindeer

Oh yes, good point joan, any wintery/snowy books would work too.

I was convinced my thread would go unanswered as its only July.

The Christmas Rose by Sepp Bauer.

Stick Man

There's a Christmas Harry and the Dinosaurs one too.

Little Grey Rabbit's Christmas! [sobs]

How about getting one of the personalised once where your ds's can be the characters in the book?
