GIANT List of Christmas Books We Love {Picture Books, Chapter Books, Mama Books}

We have read literally hundreds of Christmas books over the years as a family. There’s just something extra cozy about reading Christmas stories, isn’t there? Throw in a fuzzy blanket, a fire (on the TV for us), and perhaps some cocoa, and I can hardly stand the hygge vibes! My blog has so many lists of books, which I’ll link below. But in this post I’m pulling out a few top favorites from each. Currently I have kids aged nearly 8, nearly 10, and 9 months.
