Gift Ideas For Families - Printable Christmas...

When money is tight, it is difficult to feel the spirit of Christmas. Society has drilled it into our minds that we need money to enjoy the season. I have found that Christmas movies and stories put me in the mood quickly. They are great to read to children at night before they go to bed too.

A few years ago we decided to give story reading a try to see if it would help us to have a more enjoyable Christmas season. I was amazed at the results.
These are my two favorite printable storybooks for Christmas. I have used them for several years now. They also make great gifts for others. Simply make the front and back from card stock paper and place them in a binder. They are really attractive.

Advent Storybook is a PDF printable book of stories for Christmas. The ideal plan is to read one story a day beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending Christmas day.

Another Storybook is available and you can choose from eight different selections to use as the front. Here is the link to the PDF of this storybook but you will need to click on the "another storybook" link for the front. This storybook has 24 stories so you can begin the first day of December and read one story a day.

This is such a great way to have the true spirit of Christmas in our thoughts during the Christmas Season. All too often, we get stressed over the holidays. By taking the time to read just one story a night with the family, it will help reduce our stress and help us to relax. It is amazing how stories can calm us. Enjoy stories with your family this holiday season. If you don't have the time or are not motivated enough to print your own stories, these stories may work well for you. Enjoy and have a wonderful time with your family.

It helps me to remember the true meaning of Christmas is the Birth of the Baby JESUS. Thus keeping my thoughts from all the commercials that plague society everywhere they go.

Do you have a favorite book or story that you read each Christmas?
