for the Christmas season

Elliot crawled into my bed early this morning, long before anyone else was awake, and sweetly asked if we could read books in front of the Christmas tree. I couldn't say no to that, no matter how early it was. So we plugged in the tree lights, found all of our Christmas books in the bookshelf, and hunkered down on the couch together. It was wonderful. I am thankful that the Christmas spirit is alive and well in our little house. It really is a magical time of year.

p.s. This is my favorite Christmas children's book.
