We love spending time with our family and just hanging out around the house. This book has a super cute Christmas Tree on the cover surrounded by glitter and that&#8217;s just the beginning. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/48415995_2221064248182056_5052525451713445888_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&#038;_nc_eui2=AeHTnXM4MumS_W-qIVrI1nSBpG_kJt7Ui74jvcXjLpvzyVV7pBXtIHBDP4DR-eCpPz-f_4KQd15swVruf6RmY83UZp9TyRfVgCjp9LuUxDB6dw&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&#038;oh=0f0a474747eb6864bd10b98b18bfa093&#038;oe=5CC18483\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As we read through the book this most recent time I sat admiring the graphics and the simple phrases. It is all about Christmas objects in relation to a parent or caregivers love for their special little one. The sweet chubby graphics are incredible and by the end of the story it&#8217;s hard not to look down at your special little one and just see how lucky you are. Each of my children are extra special to me and I can&#8217;t wait to enjoy many many more special holidays with each of them. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/l\/t1.0-9\/49571329_2221064281515386_5195198179317907456_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&#038;_nc_eui2=AeFrurKh3ntvUy8o1XJuBqseVLur5grFP02yw-5FK0pGbBOeAfmoRv1zZP9z_RBjXEEJKAivkexo1tQnS8MWvm6V4YbIq788R6jNdrRF7zdq1Q&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&#038;oh=4eccc9e614aa22d91a353bd6a052fa98&#038;oe=5CC7F5D3\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend any book by Joyce Wan.
