Many families who enjoy reading books with their children have developed a tradition of wrapping picture books to open, one for each day in December leading up to Christmas day. We think this is a fantastic tradition. Our authors here at CCA have written a number of great books about Christmas to delight your children. This post is made early for those wishing to add Christmas books to their collection of books to unwrap and read in December.

But before we jump into Christmas books, let’s also look at Thanksgiving books. We haven’t personally written many books about this holiday, so I’ll add some Thanksgiving books by other authors as well.
