Advent Day 9, 2021: Family Book Exchange

Remember what I said about mailing Christmas cards as the “most wonderful time of the year?” I guess the annual Family Book Exchange must have slipped my mind!

Family Book Exchange 2021

We thought about having some kind of theme for this year’s book exchange.

Say, books bought in person, at long last!

Or, books about socializing in large groups!

Or, books about the recovery of heart, mind, and soul.

Instead, we’re winging it!

Last week, we drew names out of a hat.

And, today, we’ll each present our “secret santa” with a book!

Stay tuned for the results!
