Simple as That

Making Everyday Beautiful

The Night Before Christmas Personalized Book

Thursday, November 7, 2013

Tired of keeping up with the holiday hustle? Enjoy a calm season filled with MORE memories & LESS overwhelm: Join us for 12 Days to a Simpler Holiday Season.

Thank you to My Chronicle Books for sponsoring todays post.

If you enjoy giving personalized gifts as much as I do then you’re going to love this memorable gift idea from My Chronicle Books: a personalized version of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I’m excited to share more about this wonderful gift idea and pass along some valuable savings on personalized books and gifts from My Chronicle Books this holiday season.


I have a fond place in my heart for Christmas books. There are picture books that I still remember reading as a child, while curled up on the couch next to the Christmas tree. One such book was our old, tattered version of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I don’t think a Christmas has gone by where I haven’t read this precious poem. It’s certainly a Christmas tradition in and of itself.

As a mom, creating magical holiday memories for my kids – like the ones I experienced as a child – is so important to me. The precious childhood memories I have of our well-loved Christmas books was the motivation behind starting a holiday book countdown with my kids. We’ve been doing this since the kids were little and its such a simple tradition, but they look forward to it so much!

Each year I wrap 25 of our favorite Christmas books and place them in a special basket under the tree. Starting December 1st the kids take turns opening one book a day until Christmas. Over the years we’ve slowly added new titles to our list of favourite books, but the final book we open in our countdown is always the same – Twas the Night Before Christmas.

MyChronicleBooks’ spin on this holiday classic puts your child at the center of the story and I love this idea so much! This customized version of Clement Clarke Moore’s historic poem is a timeless keepsake packed full of magic.

Imagine reading it with your child’s name, birthday and other bits of their own lives woven throughout. My kids would eat that up! You can even include a special dedication message, upload your own holiday photo and preview exactly what the book will look like before you purchase it.

    I just know my daughter would be so thrilled, if we were reading a book that was personalised to her! Especially if it was all about Princesses 🙂 What a great idea!

    Very nicely designed so the personalised names don’t look like an afterthought, as happens in many personalised gifts. I really love this, and love how the name on the cover is the first thing you see.
    Nice One :))

    I love that you’re passing on your traditions to your kids. This is such a fun idea to personalize that book. My kids would think it’s so cool to have their name on a book. Love it Rebecca!
