Christmas holidays will arrive soon, one of the dates of the year I most longed for when I was little and now that I am a father, although I can no longer enjoy those two long weeks. The fact is that they are dates that due to the weather, we spend many hours at home and we already know that locked children need to be entertained. What better, then, than telling stories and taking advantage of these dates, why not tell them stories related to Christmas.
For that I have selected a dozen books about Christmas for children I hope you like it and your little ones.
