The Twelve Days of Holiday Organizing: Holiday Book Activity

Day 1:
Create a Holiday Book Activity for your Family, for Advent or Hanukkah

This is one of the best times of the year to gather and sort all of your books. You can make room for new books that you may receive this year by editing out those that you will probably never read again. Then take your favorite holiday themed books and wrap them up. You can use plain craft paper or wrapping paper from last year and label them with numbers 1 through 24 (or 1 through 8 for Hanukkah). You can find number stickers at your local craft store to make it really easy.

Each evening members of the family will take turns unwrapping the books and then reading them together. This is especially fun for the youngest members of the family. This activity provides a wonderful excuse to slow down and enjoy an activity together with no distractions.
