Whether you\u2019re a mom who is stickler for traditions or love to create routines all your own, one thing is certain: there is nothing like snuggling in bed with your baby and a sweet bedtime story. As I was unboxing all of our Christmas stuff this past weekend, I realized that it was time to update my family\u2019s holiday book collection so we can do just that. Here are the latest titles to help you and yours get ready for a special Christmas-themed story time.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Santa\u2019s Squeaky Boots<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be honest \u2014 your toddler may not be the best candidate for Santa\u2019s Little Helper once he gets his hands on this adorable board book. Equipped with a pair of very squeaky boots, Santa's Squeaky Boots<\/a><\/em> tries to deliver gifts to children around the world, but with the turn of each die-cut page, little ones may have too much fun spoiling the big man\u2019s surprise.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Night Before Christmas<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

No holiday library is complete without Clement Clarke Moore\u2019s classic tale of Christmas Eve. While there are countless variations of The Night Before Christmas<\/i><\/a>, we love this interactive kid-friendly version that invites children young and old to search-and-find one adorably furry mouse on St. Nick\u2019s magical night<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
