Simple Christmas Making - Episode 33
Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with two women who I am blessed to call ‘friends’. This conversation resulted in Episode 33 as Debra, Tiffany and I talked about what it looks like to help our kids, our families, navigate into a simple Christmas.
We talk about traditions before and after kids, fun with food and holidays, how to find rest and keep from being overwhelmed and so much more. There are a lot of giggles, the story of Debra’s Christmas Box miracle, and the beauty of Advent and St. Nicolas.
Debra mentions a few books in the episode. They are:
The Crippled Lamb and Cosmic Christmas by Max Lucado
Mary’s First Christmas by Walter Wangerin, Jr.
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by
Cosmic Christmas by Susan Wojciechowski
I would add in The Message of The Birds by Kate Westerlund as well.
Additionally, we talked about some of the favorite foods that are traditions in the families of these ladies. Debra shares some (see below) and Tiffany will once the craziness of the holiday baking season is over. And speaking of that, you can find Tiffany’s amazing work at Desert Bloom Confections.
If you haven’t listened yet, take an hour and spend some sweet time listening to these two women and their hearts for happy kiddos and the makings of a simple Christmas.
