One thing Santa is sure to bring to my house every year as a gift is books. They are one of the best gifts anyone could give my girls, and they are so happy to get them, each one is a brand new adventure! If your little dancer is an avid reader, maybe a great idea for a last minute holiday gift would be one of these books about dance. They all have links to find them online to make shopping even easier! Happy holiday reading everyone!
