I did not send this idea in originally, but here is what my book has in it. My sister gave this to me a couple of years ago and we love it.  She put it in one of the padded or covered notebooks with each page in a sheet protector.  You should use your own favorite stories of Christmas, mine range from the very funny to the very spiritual.

Title page -- The Twenty-Four Days of Christmas

Next page -- (has title across the top then has this poem)

On the first day of Christmas
We bring this gift to you,
So the true Spirit of Christmas
can join your family too.
Now throughout this holiday season,
As the days get hectic and long,
Gather together at the end of each day,
Share a scripture, story, and song.
With your hearts and voices joined together
The spirit will ring loud and clear,
And we hope that this time spent together
Will fill your holidays with cheer!
