Advent Day 13: It's a Wonderful Life

What are your plans this Christmas season?

Every Christmas, we would typically travel to visit and spend time with family. Due to unexpected reasons, this year, we have to stay put at home. Yet, it has turned into more of a blessing because it gives us time to rest.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Matthew 11:28-30 

It's been quite a year for us, both personally and professionally. So this time of rest is welcome, despite not being able to spend the holidays with family. However, our traditions will still continue, which includes watching It's a Wonderful Life together every Christmas season. Spending time together with our two miniature schnauzers and watching a Christmas classic sounds just about perfect.

  

Another seasonal tradition for me includes rereading classics and beloved stories. I've mentioned it in a past Seekerville post. My vision has been troublesome of late, so I'm not sure how much rereading I'll be able to do, but I'm adding audio book versions of a few favorites to my "to be listen" pile for this season.

With that said, I would love to give away a box of some great books that are worth a reread to one US winner. Just leave a comment below letting us know you'd like to enter.
