16 Books to Teach the Real Meaning of Christmas

There are so many reasons to anticipate the Christmas season! Every year I look forward to cranking up the timeless holiday tunes as I drive to work each morning. The day to pull out box after box of Christmas decorations can’t come soon enough. And crazy, brightly colored Christmas sweaters become a wardrobe staple during the month of December!

While each of these moments are exciting and much anticipated, nothing compares to the true joy of the holiday! For me, Christmas is the time that my family and I stop and reflect on the incredible reality of Christ’s birth.

Christ’s birth was an amazing event because it fulfilled prophesies that were shared for thousands of years throughout the Old Testament. Christ’s birth was amazing because rather than coming to earth as an adult to quickly bring to pass his redeeming plan, he chose to live a human life, from birth to adulthood, here on this earth. His life on earth means that he not only understands what I go through each day because he is an all-knowing God, but because he lived it himself. And finally, Christ’s birth is amazing because I have a God who was willing to put himself into the humble, helpless form of a baby to live, and die, and redeem me.

How can this message not be shared?

This season, take a moment to read some of these books with your little ones and reflect on the true joy of the Christmas season!
