Hi Reader,

It’s the merriest time of year at Read-Aloud Revival, and families everywhere are gearing up for Christmas School! 🎄

Each year thousands of homes join in, which means the Christmas School books sometimes sell out quickly.

This year, two titles in particular — Cobweb Christmas and Apple Tree Christmas — are becoming harder to find.

But don’t let that stop you from jumping into Christmas School. We’ve made sure you’ll have everything you need.

I explain everything in this short video 👇🏼

Here’s how we’re helping:

If you can’t find Cobweb Christmas, you’ll get to read The Legend of Old Befana by Tomie dePaola instead (oh my goodness, I *LOVE* this book!). We’ve created a full backup guide and Looking Closely video for it.

If Apple Tree Christmas is out of stock, you can watch a read-aloud video read by Sarah Mackenzie, offered exclusively to RAR families with permission from Sleeping Bear Press. 🙌🏼 You’ll find the video inside Christmas School by Nov 30.

If you would prefer a physical book in hand, you can read aloud Christmas in the Big Woods, the beautifully illustrated picture-book version of the Little House Christmas scene. That one has its own backup guide and video as well.

So even if you can’t get your hands on every book this year, you can still enjoy a rich, meaningful, joy-filled Christmas School with your family. Everything you need is waiting for you inside.

To recap:

• For Week 1 you can use Cobweb Christmas OR The Legend of Old Befana
• For Week 2 you will use Red & Lulu
• For Week 3 you can use Apple Tree Christmas OR Christmas in the Big Woods

We’d love to have you join us for the most wonderful reading season of the year. Join us!​
