The next book in our countdown of favorite Children's Christmas Picture Books is called The Spirit of Christmas from the New York Times—Bestselling Author/Illustrator, Nancy Tillman.
From the first page you fall in love with the poetry of this book.I had Just nodded off,
at a quarter past four,
when the Spirit of Christmas
stepped in through my door.

The spirit is an actual character in the book and is hidden on every page...which my boys love to find hidden pictures. Another thing that makes it fun, is that there are beginnings to popular christmas carols designed within the illustrations, so you can sing some of those songs with your children as you read...it is fun to see how much of these popular carols you all remember the words to.
As you go through the pages of everything that is wonderful about Christmas, the reader soon discovers that the best part of spending Christmas is with the ones they love. This is a perfect gift to send to a child (or anyone) that is special in your heart, but is far away. Hope you enjoy this book as much as me and my boys.
