As we move into the relatively short seasons of Advent and Christmas, I often struggle to narrow down which books to recommend. Both seasons offer us gifts on how to spend our time and so many good books. As someone who is a minimalist in decorating, one of my favorite ways to decorate is to display these beautiful books around my home. Two of the books that will be displayed this year are “Waiting Is Not Easy” by Mo Willems for Advent and for “Silent Night” illuminated by Lara Hawthorne for Christmas.
