Most people have childhood memories of receiving favorite Christmas books as gifts. That explains why gifting favorite Christmas books is such a great idea. Gifts of Christmas books make a lasting impression. Favorite Christmas books aren't just for children. They can suit a variety of ages. Here are five ideas from my favorite Christmas books to help inspire you.
The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein doesn't technically fall into the category of favorite Christmas books. Yet, it has a very Christmas message. At the center of the book is a tree (not unlike a Christmas tree) which keeps on giving. The message of the book is all about the importance of giving and being grateful. That is why it is one of my favorite Christmas books. As a gift for kids, it is a book which will last beyond the Christmas holidays. The charming and quirky illustrations by Shel Silverstein make this an attractive choice for giving favorite Christmas books as gifts.
A Christmas Carol
A list of favorite Christmas gift books would not be complete without A Christmas Carol. One of my favorite versions, bother for kids and adults, is Quentin Blake's A Christmas Carol. Quentin Blake's wonderful illustrations put a new spin on this classic of favorite Christmas books.
The Night Before Christmas
The wonderful poem, The Night Before Christmas, is the foundation for many favorite Christmas books. There are a multitude of versions to choose from. A beautifully illustrated Night Before Christmas is a great idea for giving favorite Christmas books as gifts.
Angela and the Baby Jesus
Frank McCourt's touching Christmas story Angela and the Baby Jesus is another of my favorite Christmas books. It will have special meaning as the author Frank McCourt passed away this year.
The Polar Express
The beautiful illustrations and story of The Polar Express make it one of my favorite Christmas books. The appeal to both kids and adults makes The Polar Express a versatile option for giving favorite Christmas books as gifts.
