25 Books of Christmas

Have you seen this idea?

You wrap up 25 picture books about Christmas and place them under your tree.  Each day your child may choose 1 new book to open and read with you to help count down the days till Christmas.

We think this is a fabulous idea and would like to provide you with a list of 25 (well, okay 30) of our favorite Christmas books for you to consider putting under your own tree.
