Daddy reads to us at bedtime each night and decided to list the books he has read lately. Actually mommy is reading this first one this year. Except for the first two these are books that are part of the read-aloud list in our homeschool curriculum.



The House without a Christmas Tree by Gail Rock
We read this story ever year in December; it has become a tradition. This is the story of the relationship between a young girl and her father as they deal with her desire for a Christmas tree and his desire to not have one. They do not understand each other, but the reader is shown the full picture. It was made into a TV movie long ago.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
Another family tradition and favorite. I love hearing the kids laugh as we read this each year. The Herdmans crash the annual Christmas pageant, but to everyone's surprise the true meaning of Christmas shines through it all.
