Bøger om Jul

Each year we like to send a holiday letter to our friends and loved ones looking back at the past year and looking forward to the coming one. These letters are extremely personal but also extremely universal. Though written at holiday time, the observations I share are a true reflection of life all year long. In them I share my struggles, joys and thoughts, which like yours, change from year to year and I'm sure mirror many of the same things you go through. I've left some personal things in here to give you a sense of who I am - a regular person like you with all the normal victories, defeats, happiness, sadness, joy and pain that we all share. Each letter contains reflections, lessons learned, wisdom and insight that God laid on my heart that particular year. I believe these will help you with your life and have great value to you. In these annual holiday letters I ask people to stop, take stock of where they were at, and consider how they were going to move forward. I hope that by sharing these letters with you it will cause you to do the same. -From the introduction

For fans of Mercy Watson, old and new, comes a joyful crescendo of favourite characters in a picture-book celebration of the quiet miracles Christmastime brings. When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. Will Stella need to sing by herself âEUR" with enthusiastic contributions from the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up on the way? Or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadnâEUR(TM)t expected? With tender affection for Mercy Watson and all her Deckawoo Drive friends, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen offer a picture-book homage to the season that is perfectly suited for family sharing âEUR" perhaps with some cups of hot chocolate and a stack of well-buttered toast.

The Christmas Rescue is about the rescue of a little family of cats, who endured months on the street and the love they brought two women who did everything to care, feed, and shelter them. Helpers then had to let go of them to have better lives. Pets bring so much to children and adults. They become family. The message is kindness, compassion, the warm feelings of Christmas, and miracles, especially now during these times.About the authorMarie Motwani is an only child, who lost most of her family by her early twenties. Pets, from turtles, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and cats have been her saving grace. Her first Baby, (adopted Julie and Dustees) Chubby, Socks, especially her extraordinary last Lil Bob all have given her life purpose and for that she is grateful. Marie is a down-to-earth person. She draws inspirational name art, likes walking, and still gets excited when she sees nature, tall buildings, or artsy villages. She loves the Fall season, pumpkin pie, Christmas lights, movies, and Broadway plays, all of which she misses during this pandemic. Safety First! Marie believes that kindness to all, love, and compassion are a formula we should be taught from day one. She believes in "giving freely," whether it's your time, listening, or shopping for someone; acts of kindness don't always mean money. Show love to all creatures.
