Today I'm sharing some Montessori Christmas themed articles that I have been reading and enjoying this week! I hope you enjoy them too.

• A Montessori Christmas at Cincinnati Moms Blog. 
• A Montessori compatible Christmas Book - A rare and beautiful thing at Our Montessori Life. - I can't find this book locally but will keep on looking. 
• Christmas Cookies - Montessori Style at Montessori Academy. I love how they have broken down the steps/method of this recipe. 
• Should Parents Tell Their Children the Truth About Santa? and Taking a Look at Santa Again at Montessori for Everyone. If you are not sure what to do about Santa, I encourage you to read both of these articles. This best articulates the Montessori approach to Santa. 
• The joyful work of a Montessori Christmas at Montessori Child, this is written for a school setting but lots of the ideas can be applied at home too. 
• De-Centering Christmas in the Classroom at Diamond Montessori. This is food for thought.
• How to Simplify Christmas at Montessori Family. 
• Ecological/Ethical Gifts Guide (Waldorf/Montessori) at Mothers Abroad.
• Embroidery with Children: Christmas Cards (incl. printer template) at Monti Minis. 
• Salt Dough Advent Spiral at Cosmic Montessori School. Is there anything salt dough can't do?
• Christmas Around the World at Trillium Montessori. What could be better than learning about Christmas in different cultures? For teaching children about celebtrations around the world this book is fabulous, it contains Hanukkah, Christmas and so much more - Children Just Like Me: Celebrations. This would be a good book for the classroom too!
