Here is a Christmas Book List to use as a resource.

Christmas Time
Talk about Christmas time drawing near. Make mention of the decorations throughout the neighborhoods and in the stores, and help him name the different icons and symbols - Santa Claus, wreath, Christmas tree, holly, bells, reindeer, etc.
Christmas Count Down Chain
Directions:
Cut out twenty four 4"x1" links and one red bell for each child. Help your children number the the links from 1-24 and then attach them to form a chain from 24 to 1, attach the top link to the bell. Explain that each day they will be able to tear off one link and when they reach the bell it will be Christmas.
Teach your child to say, "Merry Christmas." Look for these words everywhere you go around town.
