It’s one of my most favorites! Find it Here. It even draws beautiful parallels between Santa and Jesus. It talks about all of the symbols of Christmas and how they remind us of Christ, and it’s done in a very simple, child-friendly, way. This book is a sweet bridge between a very commercialized Christmas, and a Christ-centered one. It’s got Mary and Joseph, and angels, and wisemen, and yes- even the baby Jesus, all made out of legos.
It’s clever and hilarious, and my lego-loving kids just love it. When I first got this book for one of my kids for Christmas part of me thought, “Is this allowed? Is this sacraligeous? Can Jesus be made out of legos?” You guys. THE CHRISTMAS STORY: THE BRICK BIBLE FOR KIDS You’ll notice the cover in the link I’m including looks different, but it’s the same book. We have the board-book version, which I love. It’s an alphabet book with every letter representing something from the Christmas story. Like, I want every page on a canvas on my wall. The illustrations in this book are breathtaking. Speaking of aunts-another aunt, Susan- gave me this book one Christmas. Kids will love the colorful illustrations, and anyone who is a parent or has ever wanted to be one, will hold back tears every time they read it. This is the Christmas version of the beloved You Are My I Love You, by Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa (if you don’t have that one yet, you NEED it!) My aunt Barb gave me both of these books when I had my first baby and they have been favorites ever since. Every single detail in this book is charming it’s a must-have. There are actual envelopes to open up and pull out wonderful things like puzzles, mini-books, holiday cards and more. Pretty much the best Christmas book, ever. My kids are 3, 7, 9, and 12 and these are some of our favorite family Christmas books! It’s fun to tuck them away and then re-discover them every year. We keep all of our Christmas books in a box and pull them out every season. One of my favorite things about Christmas is Christmas stories.
