Christmas Bedtime Stories For That Magical Feeling

Christmas Bedtime Stories You'll Fall In Love With

It's not long now before Father Christmas will be sliding down chimney breasts across the country. Therefore, we can't think of a better time to gather some Christmas bedtime stories for some magical reading in the lead up to Christmas day. After all reading stories at bedtime is a fantastic way to spend some quality time with your little munchkins. Indeed, Christmas is already a super special time. However, reading some Christmas bedtime stories the nights before, and on the big day itself can make it even more enchanting. What's more, it's a great way to try and calm down those racing minds and hopefully get them off to the land of nod. Well, we can all hope! Here, at Beds On Legs, we've rounded up a summary of our favourite Christmas bedtime stories.

The Gold Wrapping Paper

This is a great Christmas story for those aged between four and six. In summary, a man has always wrapped his presents in paper made of gold. However, he can't finish wrapping all his presents as his daughter has used the last of the paper herself. On Christmas day, the little girl happily gives her gift to her dad. To his surprise the gold wrapped box contains nothing. However, it's not as it seems, as the little girl has blown kisses into the box. Whilst initially her dad is upset, he soon realises that her love is the greatest gift of them all. You can read this lovely short story here

Twas The Night Before Christmas

Whilst it's actually a poem, we just had to include this in our list of Christmas bedtime stories. This is a great poem that is full of long standing Christmas traditions. From Father Christmas being all decked out in warm fur clothes to the prancing of reindeer's on rooftops, this poem ticks all the boxes. Plus it's a rhyming poem too, which makes it particularly fun to read. You can read it here
