Storybook Ornament | Christmas Traditions CAL

Hi friends!

The CAL ornament I have for you today will be a fun one with the kiddos.

Of course you can do any of these traditions with anyone, your spouse, dog, or just yourself!

{There’s nothin’ like a little “me” time, am I right, ladies?}

THE TRADITION: Read a Christmas story with your little ones!

Now this tradition could take many forms. You could have a nice evening around the fire with a stack of Christmas story books. You could read one quick bedtime story.

You could volunteer to read a story to the kids at your local children’s hospital.

Or you could read a great adult’s holiday book (John Grisham’s Skipping Christmas is my favorite!)

Just spend an evening with a good book that puts you in the spirit!
