Twas the night before Christmas, we read it every Christmas Eve and have done since dcs were tiny, they are now teen & tween and we take turns reading a page.

other hits: Stickman, Father Christmas needs a wee and jolly Christmas postman.

Depends on the age. I collect children's Christmas books and have lots and lots.

Shirley Hughes' books are stunning and I particularly love Lucy and Tom's Christmas, Angel Mae, The Snow Lady and The Christmas Eve Ghost. On the 24th, we obviously read The Night Before Christmas but also Christmas on Exeter Street, The Tomtes' Christmas Porridge and a couple of others.

We got the Christmas Pig by JKR last year and ds loved it. Depends on the age of the child though.

Santa is coming to XXX (insert local area name, we have Yorkshire).

Various Paddington Christmas books

Depending on age we've looked the Tom Fletcher Christmasaurus books. There's three in the series.

Thank you so much everyone! We have a fair few of those mentioned above, but I’ll probably end up buying all the others 😂. @ShowOfHands my kids 6,7 and 12!

‘The Empty Stocking’ by Richard Curtis, is IMO brilliant for slightly older children, say 5+.

Was just coming on to say The Empty Stocking!
