Today's teacher is Elizabeth Dillow and I love this assignment. Today it is all about books. We love books and at this time of the year we have so much fun with books.
When my brother and I were kids my mom started us a Christmas book collection. Every year she would buy us each a new Christmas book. She has now carried the tradition on to Bug-A-Boo and has gotten her a new Christmas book for the last 4 years. Last year she gave us the chance to go through all the books and take which ones we wanted.
I decided that a great way to "distribute" the books would be to use them as an advent countdown. Every year I wrap us 25 books and write a number 1-25 on them. Each night before from December 1-25 Bug-A-Boo gets to pick out the package with the appropriate number and that is the book we read at bedtime. It has become a wonderful tradition.
Photo Prompt:
Take a picture of all your favorite Christmas books together or just one special favorite. If you would like to create a layout just like mine, take a photo that can be cropped square. Mine is about 4" x 4", but really any size photo will do.
