Love this discussion! I’d like to add Olive, the Other Reindeer by J. Otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh to the list. It’s a quirky, fun story with adorable illustrations, perfect for kids who enjoy humor.
Another one we adore is Bear Stays Up for Christmas by Karma Wilson. It’s sweet, heartwarming, and has a great message about giving. For a more modern take, Pick a Pine Tree by Patricia Toht is a festive story that walks through the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree—it’s so relatable and fun!
