Is your favorite book pictured above? Which one is your favorite?
These are great Janet!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom and I both collect books too.
I have that Rudolph one - it was mine when I was a little girl. I'm not sure exactly where it is right but I'm smiling at the memory.
I have quite a collection of Christmas books, also.
ReplyDeleteI thing The Christmas Story is my favorite.
The Rudolph is my favorite. I still have it somewhere. Me and Paul read it every year growing up.
ReplyDeleteJanet: What neat books you have to share for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Christmas Blog and thanks for showing the children's books. In my long life, I've owned or bought to give many of these. Your article brought back memories of walking to the drug store as a child to buy the current Little Golden Book for 25 cents.
I am also a writer. I live in the western mountains of North Carolina. On my Christmas blog I linked with ApplLit (Appalachian Literature) and listed Appalachian Christmas Books for Children and Young Adults. I'm not selling anything. Like you, I am celebrating the writing of children's books. That is where the love of language starts.

Hi Jan,
ReplyDeleteI think you just out did yourself with this posting. That is really neat and original. Sometimes I wonder what you're going to come up with next.
Love from big sis.
Hi Janet! So glad that you stopped by for a visit. I am a sister West Virginian too! Born near Gilbert. I have placed your name in our cookie jar for my apron drawing tomorrow. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteLove your book collection! I adore children's literature and have a little collection myself. My favorite is the Polly book. Love those watercolor illustrations!
Wishing you Christmas joy,
Lea
I have some childrens books but I don't have any Christmas, I picked mine up at yard sales for the great-grandchildren when they visit.
ReplyDeleteGood post!
I used to read the Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas to my niece every year. Even sometimes before Christmas as she loved it. She's 26 now, but she still remembers. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful books. xxoo
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteMy brothers, sisters & I had almost all of the books you pictured. My absolute favorite was Rudolph! He's still my heroe. I bought The Pokey Little Puppy for my nephew as a Christmas present when he was little. Thanks for all the great memories you just brought back! By the way, I just love the music! Have a Merry Christmas!!
Deb :-)
