Bear Stays Up for Christmas | Karma Wilson
19 posts | 19 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
The day before Christmas, snuggled on his floor, Bear sleeps soundly with a great big snore. "Dear Bear. Get up!" Mouse shouts in his ear. "We won't let you sleep through Christmas this year." Bear's friends are determined that he'sawake for Christmas and they get him up from his hibernation on Christmas Eve. Bear is excited to experience the holiday with his friends and tries very hard to stay awake, helping to find the right Christmas tree, making mint tea and singing carols. Finally, though, it's his friends who have fallen asleep - and Bear Stays Up! He makes food and presents for his friends, not noticing that Father Christmas has also come to visit. Christmas morning dawns bright and happy for all!

I picked some random kids books from Kindle Unlimited, I enjoyed Bear Stays Up For Christmas, but let me do you a favor, stay away from Little Mousy's Wish Before Christmas. It's terrible. #WGWordsearch - 590 pts

This one was cute, but I especially loved the artwork. Beautiful colors and it evoked warm feelings of drinking hot cocoa by a fire while it snowed it outside. #wintergames2020 #teamreadnosedreindeer

I'm a fan of the Bear books. Cute holiday read with lots of woodland creatures and a fun story. Made me feel like a kid again just wanting to stay up and wait for Santa. 🎅

My daughter hauled up our book advent collection 💪🏾 and is now in the process of deciding on dates for each and attaching sticky notes. 😄 Naturally we have more than 24!

Tamra P.S. if you don‘t have Sad Santa for the 25th, check it out! 4y

(Day 13: Green & Red) A collection of my son‘s Christmas books. I tried wrapping a bunch of them for book advent about two years ago. It looked great but took forever. I also felt like he missed out on them all month because some stayed wrapped until Dec 23 or 24. What is everyone‘s favorite holiday book? Any holiday. #Colormepretty #PhotoChallenge # Christmas #PictureBooks @Sweetkokoro

marleed What immediately came to mind for me was the book A Cup of Christmas Tea. Love that book! 5y

readinginthedark For adults or children? And are we including generic monster books for Halloween? 😆 I may have a seasonal book problem... 5y
Lady_Tigana_20 @BooknerdsLife, thank you. It was a pain to do. 😂 I accidentally knocked them over while trying to move them. Finally just went with this picture. 5y

My bunny‘s bed in the morning (2 yo boy):
▪️super creepy large doll his “titi” (my sister) got him
▪️ water bottle he insists on sleeping with
▪️ blankets, pillows, other stuffies
▪️ 3-5 books that he‘s taken to bed with him to read in the dark after lights out, in the middle of the night, or in the morning. This morning: his favorite colors book, a Carle book, and his favorite Bear book ☺️

Karisa My son is the same way! He must have a dozen books in his bed and stuffed animals. He won't let me put them on the bookshelf right next to his bed. He's 10! Gotta love raising readers! 5y

Avanders @Karisa aww that‘s awesome! And I can relate 😄😁 @TobeyTheScavengerMonk ooh so it‘s from a show? We don‘t know it (yet!), but the doll on her own is pretty creepy 😁😆 @gissy 🥰♥️ 5y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk It‘s a Netflix show where each episode is about a Beatles song. My boys have Beat Bugs instruments, action figures, and books and we listen to the music in the car. It‘s a lot of fun! 5y
SamHeartCoffee He‘s the bestest most handsome kid! 5y
Avanders @TobeyTheScavengerMonk ooh very cool! Sounds fun ☺️ @SamHeartCoffee aww 🥰 we think he‘s pretty great 😁 You‘ll have to come over again soon! 5y

#xmascountdown Day 10 One of my very favorites about the meaning of friendship and giving. Poor 🐻 is so very very tired, but his friends manage to keep him awake, to their delight Xmas morning.

I highly recommend the whole Bear series of books. 🐻

The Christmas Treasures on the bottom is my favorite Christmas book. Norman Rockwell art is on the cover.
My mom had one I pored over then she bought me my own. It's not in the Litsy database (I searched ISBN).
