Many years ago, when the boys were about 2 and 4, on Christmas Eve we told them they would wake up in the morning and they could look under their pillows for something to do until it was time to wake up for presents. After they were asleep, we tucked a small pile of books under each of their pillows. We hoped to get a few more minutes to sleep on Christmas morning. Little did we know we were starting a tradition of Mrs. Santa's books.
Every year since, I have enjoyed collecting books on rummages and at secondhand stores to put out on Christmas Eve for each kid. This fits my life philosophy: "You can never have too many books", and its corollary "Gifts are fun!"
