A personalized Night Before Christmas book makes for a very special storytime

Reading The Night Before Christmas is a holiday staple in our house, though this new personalized Night Before Christmas book for kids that stars one special child throughout the pages is sure to be the new Christmas favorite for years to come. Best of all? Though the little personalized touches are found on almost every page, it only takes a few minutes to get this special gift all wrapped up before Santa's sleigh takes flight.  

  One of Chronicle Books' personalized gifts which we've written about before, Night Before Christmas is a vividly illustrated and fun-to-read twist on Clement Moore's classic. Personalize it with your child's name, hometown, and the names of two siblings or friends. There's even a spot for the family dog or cat, though if you have neither, sorry — you have a mouse in your house. Add a photo and special message to the dedication page for a really special touch. You won't just find the name stuck on the front page and on a few photos either. Instead, it is woven into the text as in, "Dante knew in a moment, it must be Saint Nick." And when we see Santa checking off his "nice and naughty list," no worries. Your little elf is sure to be found on the "nice" list. Phew. Order Chronicle's personalized Night Before Christmas book by December 2nd (TODAY!) for Christmas delivery. And use the code FRIENDS by 12/5 for 35% off any order through Chronicle.
