​ ​ What is your favorite Christmas story or book? Why is it your favorite?

My favorite Christmas story is called "The Sweet Smell of Christmas". It is scratch and smell book. The main character is a little bear who is waiting for Christmas. One day he smells gingerbread cookies baking in the oven so he goes to the kitchen where his mother is baking cookies. That page smells like gingerbread. Another day, he goes to the woods to chop down a Christmas tree with his father. That page smells like a pine tree. Each page has a different scent such as peppermint,chocolate cocoa, and apple pie as little bear does a different Christmas activity. At the end of the story, Santa comes and leaves little bear a Christmas orange in his stocking. You guessed it! That page smells like oranges. I used to love reading that book over and over as a child. Now, I read it over and over to my kids.

My favorite Christmas story is "The Night Before Christmas". I just love the excitement is builds as we await Christmas morning. Acting out this yuletide favorite is lots of fun! You should try it with your family! Take turns being the different characters and really "ham" it up! Everyone will go to bed laughing on the night before Christmas!
