Greetings in this First Week of Advent, Feast of St Francis Xavier
I have many memories, as a child, of books at particular seasons of the year, that I found so enchanting that they've stayed vividly in my memory...along with the childlike joy, excitement and wonder that were evoked when first discovering each new little world of discovery. One that especially leaps to mind at this time of year is 'The Night Before Christmas' - almost more for the warm, magical and fuzzy-feelings-paintings than for the actual story!
While recently checking my favorite blogs, I've recently been finding some utterly delightful book titles, that these mothers having been sharing with us mothers. I've been finding many to save up for, to get for my little girls, that I wanted to share with you all! Of course the prices for these books on amazon are high right now, since we're in the midst of the Season, so, since I've only just discovered most of these new delights, I'll have to wait until later in the New Year to purchase them..sigh!
Alrightie, here's the List of these utterly lovely Advent and Christmas Season Young Childrens' Books! The pictures of the front covers are far more exciting to look at, than just the titles - so hop and skip over to Amazon, just to enjoy some window shopping, at least for starters! *chuckle!*
