21 Living Books Until Christmas

It is Christmas time once again and instead of participating in what has become a overly materialistic holiday, in our home I’m trying to ensure it is one of a Christ like atomosphere. A few of these stories are a representation of the story of the infant Jesus, many have a Christian theme, some a sprinkling of Santa Clause and others are a heart warming story.

Each morning leading up to Christmas Day, we are reading from one of these twenty one living books. If your wondering what living books are or wish to see the criteria I use to determine living books, you can read that here. (Click grey link)  I love Christmas and I want my children to also have a deep love for the true meaning of Christmas. These twenty-one living books are truly a Charlotte Mason feast for advent.

Room For A Little One comes as a toddler board book, perfect for my little guy. Do you have anything to add to this list? Do you have a favorite Christmas living book?

    fabulous list! Most of them are my favorites!

    One you don’t have listed is “A tree for Peter”. It’s such an inspiring story.

About Sarah

Just the name of my blog gives me away. Hi, There! I am Sarah Bliss, author of Holistic Homeschooler. I am happily married to the man of my dreams and together we raise two adorable children

We obviously homeschool and believe home education is more than academics.

I hold a personal philosophy that homeschooling is holistic and encompasses the whole child-body, mind, heart, spirit.

When I refer to the spirit, I mean the holy spirit. That ones own spirit needs daily nourishment from the word of God.

I  homeschool mainly using a Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education. I absolutely love nature which is why the nature study aspect of Charlotte’s philosophy really speaks to me. We spend hours outside, on nature walks or the occasional hike.

Additionally, I have a burning desire to take our homeschool Journey on the road and share our travel adventures with anyone who will read or listen. Yet, this is a plan in progress so for now we are casually road-schooling.

Finally-I am a Registered Nurse, with the heart to spread educational information on health, wellness, and physical fitness. 

I hope to be a source of encouragement and inspiration as we travel along this homeschool journey together.
