The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge 2011



November 21, 2011 to January 6, 2012

Challenge will run from Monday, November 21, 2011 through Friday, January 6, 2011 (Twelfth Night or Epiphany).

Cross over with other challenges is totally permitted AND encouraged!

These must be Christmas novels, books about Christmas lore, a book of Christmas short stories or poems, books about Christmas crafts, and for the first time...a children's Christmas books level!

Visit this POST for a list of new Christmas books for 2011.  Two books I highly recommend for this season that I have read and reviewed...The Christmas Village by Melissa Ann Goodwin and The Reindeer Keeper by Barbara Briggs Ward (click the titles to read my reviews).

Levels:

  • --Candy Cane:  read 1 book
  • --Mistletoe:  read 2-4 books
  • --Christmas Tree:  read 5 or 6 books (this is the fanatic level...LOL!)
             

Additional levels:

  • --Fa La La La Films:  watch a bunch or a few Christmas movies...it's up to you!
  • --Visions of Sugar Plums: read books with your children this season and share what you read

*the additional levels are optional, you still must complete one of the main reading levels above

The most important rule?  Have fun!!!
