Decorating with books for Christmas

I've mentioned before that I am  a book lover.  (Remember this post)?  
I stumbled upon a few of these pics and wanted to share these little decorating gems with you.

Grab a stack and make it your own style!!

This last picture below, is a very formal, traditional display, using one book, but it is a lovely music book.  I love this idea and have Christmas books out and open like this throughout my house.  My husband's Grandfather's scriptures are open in our living room to remind us what Christmas is really about.  Again, it doesn't matter what your style is, you can even use a special children's book and leave them open. I put my Christmas books in an old tin box underneath the Christmas tree up until Christmas morning (we don't put gifts out until the kids go to bed on Christmas Eve). The kids love going to look under the tree and to pic out a special book to read each night before bed.
