On the one hand, yay! The library bought the book I suggested, and yes, Eleanor loves it. ❤️🎄📚 On the other hand, I‘ve had 290ish of those facts read aloud to me tonight. 😂 Did you know 2 boys in Minnesota built a snow turtle as big as their house? 🐢 Or that the world‘s largest secret santa exchange involved 1,463 students in Kentucky? 🎅🏼🎁 #raisingreaders #quirkychristmaspicks
This book is just the sweetest story about a little mouse who realizes how selfish he‘s being, and how Christmas is about so much more. Makes me tear up every time I read it. 😢🎄❤️ And then the kids always want to know why I‘m crying. 😂 #quirkychristmaspicks
pick‘TWAS NOCHEBUENA is an adorable retelling of The Night Before Christmas. The cute little narrator starts, “‘Twas Nochebuena and all through our casa, every creature was kneading tamale masa.”

The story goes through many Latino Christmas traditions from posadas to piñatas to Misa del Gallo. I was familiar w/ most of the words from life in AZ, but I learned a few new ones, and Juliet can now say Feliz Navidad & buñuelos!* #quirkychristmaspicks
