I looked at our books to wrap them this year because I like your tradition so much, BUT we have some trouble this year with small children and book respect :o(, so I'm afraid to do it.
Now I'm off to check out your advent devotions link as I've been looking for something new. Thank you for the link!
I wrapped our books today. And Matt opened the first one tonight - it is Nolan's turn tomorrow. We read The Christmas Story (a beautifully illustrated version of the KJV rendition of Luke's account) - I had to change the wording, though, to simplify the language a little. They still loved it. Mostly. Nolan kept asking why the angel was falling into water (there was an illustration of the angel Gabriel flying into the sky) - I think he missed the point of the story! Oy.

Thank you for mentioning my small contribution to your Christmas preparations!
And next year's version will have questions for discussion. I just have to start earlier and get Ann to help me with writing those!
We're enjoying them, Doug. I'm sure others will too :D
Aren't you glad you don't have to wrap a gift for the teacher and prepare for the class Christmas party?
