Besides reading the Nativity story in the Bible Nativity, we love reading lots of other Christmas books. We've gotten quite a collection over the years and are still growing more.
Last year we checked out and loved Amahl and the Night Visitors. That's definitely one I want in our collection. Of course part of my love for that book (besides it being a great story) is my memories of my brother playing the part of Amahl way back when in Madison.
This year we read This Way to Christmas by Ruth Sawyer and really like it too. We read a chapter each day and the kids loved hearing the stories within the story.
We also really enjoy our children's classic Christmas story book- which has stories like The Nutcracker, the Littlest Angel, the Match Girl, ...
I still get teary eyed each time we read The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree- which is set in NC at Grandfather Mountain and includes Tweetsie Railroad. We just went to Grandfather and Tweetsie last summer so the kids remember.
