Christmas Book Countdown & Bible Reading Plan {+ $500 Cash Giveaway for 2 Winners!}

A Christmas tradition that is Christ-centered, fun for the kids, AND promotes reading? It’s like a homeschool mom’s dream come true! A Christmas book countdown is a fantastic way to create memories with your kids this holiday season. I’ve got a fun printable that combines this tradition with a Bible reading plan so you can focus on Christ AND enjoy fun read-alouds!

*** Hey! There’s not only a FREEBIE in this post but a 2-winner, $500 cash giveaway you can enter! Scroll down to find out more. ***

For the book-loving family, this is a simple and meaningful activity that your kids will remember for a lifetime. Collect some Christmas books and wrap up 25 of them! Print the tags and label each gift. Every day, the kids can unwrap a book to read!

Snuggle up on the couch together with your Bible and the day’s book. Read the scripture passage together and discuss, and say a prayer of thanks, praying the scripture over your children. Then have fun reading the Christmas book they unwrapped!

Don’t have enough books? No problem. Here are some ideas. 

• Audiobooks to listen to during a meal, during quiet time, or in the car
• Fold and staple card stock together into a booklet and make a Christmas book together
• Use digital books by taping the title of the ebook (or a copy of the ebook cover) to the front of another book or an envelope and wrapping that
• Buy some great Christmas books to add to your stash (we get a few a year – here’s a list to start with or you can find Christian kids Christmas books on Amazon)

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is upon us once again. 2018 has flown right by and the holiday season is in full swing. With Christmas being the season of giving, I’ve gotten together with some pretty awesome bloggers to give TWO families some CASH in the 5th annual Christmas Blessings Giveaway – $500 cash (delivered via Paypal).

We hope that the prize will be a blessing to the winning families and help them to fulfill their kids’ Christmas wishes, pay off some bills, or to save for a rainy day. Whatever the money ends up being used for, our prayer is that it helps to lessen any financial burden and/or fills a specific need.

There are lots of entry options in the Rafflecopter form below – the more you enter, the better your chance of winning! I know it can seem tedious and time consuming to go through all the entries, but isn’t a chance at $500 worth it? I think it is! Plus, all of these generous bloggers donated their own money toward the cash prizes and this giveaway wouldn’t be possible without them. So I hope you’ll take the time to check out each one. Who knows, maybe you will find your new favorite blog.

The giveaway will run from Monday, November 12th through Wednesday, November 21st (ends at 11:59pm EST).
