It reminds us that the true spirit of Christmas is all about believing, no matter your age. This book has become a tradition because it makes our holiday feel so magical."

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - Dr. Seuss đ
"As a family, we cherish this book's message that Christmas isnât about presents, but about love and togetherness. It's become a tradition to read it and laugh at the Grinch's antics, knowing that kindness wins in the end. The story is fun, but it also brings us closer and reminds us to appreciate what really matters during the holidays."

Dream Snow - Eric Carle âď¸
"When our kids were younger, this was their absolute favorite holiday book. They loved the interactive flaps and the peaceful story, and reading it became a nightly tradition in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Now that they're a bit older, I still find myself reminiscing about those quiet moments together, flipping through the pages and sharing in the magic of the season. 'Dream Snow' will always remind me of those special, dreamy nights when they were little."
-Lisa Cheung, Director of Creative Marketing (and her kids, Abby and Will)
