Barton Family Christmas Books

 Every Christmas for many years we wrap 24 books and starting December 1, we open on each night counting down to Christmas.  Lately we have acquired more than 24 books so last year we started our tradition Sunday after Thanksgiving.  These are in no particular order and I know some are missing, but they are already wrapped for this year. (I totally recommend wrapping the books when you put the away so they are all ready for the next year.  It really takes off the stress of getting them ready.   

I would love to hear what your favorites are.
