'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

These words have been woven into our holiday memories. You may remember reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" with your parents, and now you read the same book with your children during the holidays. Or, you've taken to a new tradition and read "The Polar Express" or "The Elf on the Shelf."

Whatever your favorite holiday children's book is, we want to know! Tell us what your family reads by commenting on this article.
