I HAVE to share this idea... I think it is spectacular, and I'm sorry I can't give credit where credit is due... simply because I can't remember where I read it?!!
Ok if you are like us, your kids LOVE reading and LOVE opening presents, but really DON'T need a million new toys and presents, or even books for that matter.
So Here's the idea: Put your Christmas books away with your Christmas stuff each year, which many of us already do, and then WRAP your OWN BOOKS! Each night your children get to choose a present to open and read!! GENIUS!! Why didn't I think of this? So here are a few of our Christmas Books, and even though the girls have seen some of these in the basket, I wrapped them. I labeled each book simply because I want to do Polar Express on a Special Night Etc. Etc.
I also wrapped "reading buddies." As you can see here, we have the Christmas Olivia and we also have a stuffed Grinch. When the girls pick those books they will also get to open the reading buddy!

Also, you can use up your old wrapping paper. Claire got into it with me. She took off her pjs and wrapped them! :)
Ta-Da Buddies and Books wrapped
