With 24 days left until Christmas the boys and I read A Wish to be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe Illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe. This was a great story with beautiful pictures.
The book is written in flowing rhyme, and tells about an older tree that knows he has grown too big for any family to pick for their Christmas tree. This makes him very sad. The forest animals are all very thankful for what this tree gives to them year around and one night while he is sleeping they all decorate him and make him into a beautiful Christmas tree.
This is a wonderful story about giving, friendship and love. A Wish to be a Christmas Tree would make a great addition to your families Christmas library.

My favorite christmas book( besides my old trusty bible) is “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” And the other favorite is the christmas story i got to write and read for the napoleon radio station in the 3rd grade.

I don’t remember reading Christmas books as a child…I remember watching tv specials…My children’s favorite book is The Jolly Christmas Postman. They love opening all of the little letters the postman carries to various places. It never gets old for them. Thanks for the chance to win!
