A retelling of The Three Bears with Santa in the role of Goldilocks. I discovered this book this year. The children love it. Even though I don't share the cover of the book the children usually figure out that Santa is the visitor a few pages in.
Have You Been Naughty or Nice? by Ethan Long
This is one of the simplest Christmas picture books for kids. It is very sparse with one line of Duck's dialogue per page. Yet it punches a lot into its 28 pages. It also leads to discussion about being good and forgiveness.
Babushka by Sandra Ann Horn
This is a retelling of the Russian folktale Babushka. It has a different ending that the version I had heard before. Babushka is a women preoccupied with cleaning. When she hears of a new baby born in a "dirty" stable without even a blanket to keep him warm she sets out with gifts for the baby. Along the way she gives away all her gifts yet the mother welcomes her to see the baby forever changing Babushka's life. This is a great book to share about the Nativity.
