This is my list of 25 books which I've wrapped (using last year's left over and discarded papers) to open (one a day) in the lead up to Christmas. It includes several old favourites, and a few new titles as well. I won't necessarily read them all end to end, but I like having a selection of seasonally-themed books (which spend the rest of the year in a box hidden away) to get me into the spirit!

That's a wonderful idea Sarah. Aldi had a book themed advent calendar that I bought for the grandchildren. It has a tiny book to unwrap each day.

Oooh... that sounds cool! I haven't seen it (we don't have Aldi in Tassie).
