5 More Sleeps ‘til Christmas

We read this every night leading up to Christmas and my nephew actually giggles at the countdown part on each page. The rhyming text keeps a good pace for a bedtime story, and it’s sturdy enough for little hands to grab.

My kids fight over who gets to turn the page each night, which says everything about how much they love this book. The rhyming text keeps them engaged even after we've read it fifty times, and the build-up to Christmas morning feels genuinely magical.

The countdown format really builds the excitement for my kids—they’re literally checking off each sleep as we go. Jimmy Fallon’s rhyming style keeps the pages turning, and it’s become the must-read the week before Christmas.
