25+ Children’s Books About The True Meaning Of Christmas

There are many fun, childlike Christmas traditions in this world. Children get excited and giddy anticipating Christmas Day. While that is a wonderful, exciting thing, it is also important to teach the true meaning of Christmas, the day Jesus was born. The story of Jesus’ birth is a beautiful, awe-inspiring story that children will also enjoy hearing. Christmas books about Jesus will help teach the story of Jesus’ birth and about giving-the true magic of Christmas. I created this list of 25+ Children’s Books About The True Meaning Of Christmas so you can take some time this holiday season to share kids’ Christmas books that matter.

Learning the True Meaning of Christmas With Books

CHRISTIAN CHRISTMAS BOOKS FOR KIDS

SHARING THE BIRTH OF JESUS WITH KIDS IS WONDERFUL. DOING IT WITH BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS AND WRITTEN LANGUAGE IS PRICELESS.

I love Christmas as much as the next person: shopping, decorating, baking, yes please! But I do think it’s crucial that we teach Jesus’ story to kids. They need to understand why we make such a fuss at Christmas-time!

This list of Children’s Christmas books includes classic Christmas books for kids that I remember reading, and books I couldn’t wait to share with my own children.

Christmas as a season is often filled with more stress and busy-ness than necessary. I like to make sure we take special time, especially on Christmas Eve, to recognize what all the fuss is about.

In addition to learning about the true meaning of Christmas, you can pose additional questions to young learners. Depending on the kids’ ages, there could be additional questions for thought:

• What was your favorite part of the story that reminded you of the true meaning of Christmas?
• Why do you think it’s important to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus during Christmas?
• What can we learn from the story about kindness, love, and giving during the holiday season?
• How can we apply the lessons from the book to make this Christmas special for others and ourselves?
