Our Christmas Break Book List
Topic: Homeschool

It's Christmas break... YIPPEE!!! I'm quite happy to be on break from school work (mostly because my kitchen table might actually stay clear of paper, if not laundry for more than 20 minutes at a time) and not worrying about schedules for a while. However, I don't want my kids to become absolute dunces, or have too much time on their hands to go looking for trouble while we are on break. Plus we have had lots of rain lately and are scheduled for even more. This means lots of time spent indoors getting on each others nerves bored playing with the same old toys and board games over and over again, so I'm thinking that taking a trip to the library (and our own bookshelves) in is order :-)

There is always ONE book that is at the top of our reading list: The Holy Bible. It's a good read, and its a true story. If you haven't picked it up in a while, why not give it a try?!

Besides the Bible, though, we have several favorites around our home. Most have been read before but they are worth reading over and over again. Thankfully, we own a lot of books already, but also, because we have so many in our family, we are allowed to check out nearly 30 items at the base library. Here is a book list that I think will keep everyone occupied and happy during the next few weeks of Christmas break:

Not every book has to be read. On especially dreary days, its nice to have an audio book on hand. Everyone can grab a blanket and a pillow and lay down on the floor in the living/family room. Turn the lights down low, close the curtains, and pass out the hot chocolate and snacks while the kids listen to these great classics! You can even use it as free time to wrap presents before Christmas, or write thank you cards if its after Christmas!

Do you have a favorite list of books? Feel free to share in the comments!

 


In Christ,


Sallie

Hi, Sallie, thanks for stopping by! I'm so glad you have tried the moss wreath thing too. I hope they keep their color, I have not idea in the long run. Hope you and yours have a wonderful & blessed Christmas!

Great book list!  We are listening to A Christmas Carole on cd---Dickens has such a great way of describing things.  We are also reading Little House and Lord of the Rings.
