Today's holiday post is all about children's holiday books. However, instead of listing the classics such as The Nutcracker or new favorites such as The Polar Express, I thought I would share some wonderful non-traditional books for kids for this time of year. Scroll through the list as there are a variety of books. You will find something that catches your fancy. Enjoy! :)
