I love Christmas stories, and though I don’t really need an excuse to read them, I had to join in Michelle’s The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge. I’m aiming for the Christmas Tree Level, which is 5 or 6 Christmassy books. And adding on Visions of Sugar Plums, books I read with my daughter.

Good luck!
I’m doing this one too. But I’m only aiming to read 3 books. Good luck!
How fun! This looks like a blast!
Don’t you just love this time of year! I wanted to let you know that I nominated your blog for the Liebster Award:

Carol, isn’t that the way it always it-you and the dog are comfortable and someone is on the edge of the bed?
So glad you’re joining us, Carol! I read The Autobiography of Santa Claus several years ago and really enjoyed it. Hope you have fun with the challenge. I plan to read with my sons a lot this year too. We went to see A Christmas Carol (the animated version that came out a couple of years ago) last week and now the boys are really interested in reading it. I have an illustrated version that I think they will enjoy. I think knowing that they will be racking up books for the challenge will be an incentive too. 🙂
Happy Christmas reading!
Hi Carol, Stopping by to meet some of the other bloggerss participating in the Christmas Spirit Challenge. Thats a great list you have there, I’m looking forward to reading your reviews. Nice to have met you, I’ve enjoyed my visit.
Happy Chirstmas reading 🙂 I think I may join as well if I make it in time to the library and find some Christmasy reads 🙂
Have fun, Carol!
I decided to join the challenge. I think it’s a good routine to add along with watching Christmas specials too. Happy Christmas reading. 😀
