Can't decide whether to put all DS's Xmas books away till next year or keep out.

Have a fair few now - some getting too babyish and some ok and some he will "grow into" - he's 5.

I put them away, I used to get one every year, but they are mounting up now with 3 children! I usually get them out for first week of dec

I'm going to put ours away. Same with the xmas CDs. I've kind of had enough of them for one year. Santa needs a rest.

Have kept them out in the past, but they are going away this year with the Christmas decs. Will get them out for first Sunday in Advent, along with the first few of our decorations

I keep meaning to do this.
I got heartily sick of having to sing Good King Wenceslas/recite Twas the Night before Christmas last summer.
We have a box of Christmas run-up stuff that usually gets brought down on December 1st, must add the main offenders to it.
So what do you have then BudaBabe? Our favourites are:

The Greatest Gift (from Barefoot, about the "fourth Wise Man")
Good King Wenceslas, an illustrated American picture book of the whole carol
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
The Good Little Christmas Tree
Christmas in Exeter Street
Just for You, Blue Kangaroo
and, Happy Christmas Maisy
