These book club meetings just keep getting better and better! Becky hosted on Monday and everything was just perfect! It had been raining and cold all day and Becky was prepared with soup with rolls, pumpkin bars, hot cocoa and more! Perfection! Most read this wonderful book and agree that it was a great one. A truly inspirational book. We chatted about Christmas traditions and how we try to help others. Some of the questions I posted below were answered as follows:
2. What have you unexpectedly discovered and how do you think i can/will change you life?- Babies change lives FOREVER. (haha)3. What was the significance of the tic-tac-toe game of tater tots (Pg. 16)? What simple traditions do you have in your life and what do they symbolize?- Christmas eve pajamas, Christmas eve dinner, "Bundting" bread, Christmas day dinner4. "This just don't belong in the papers (Pg. 31) Do you agree? Are acts of kindness better left anonymous?- No, If they are in the papers, maybe more people can learn about the acts and take part in them.- Yes, its more genuine if it's anonymous.5. How can you give away Christmas (Pg. 69)?- Buy gifts for families in need.
We all brought a white elephant gift this meeting to celebrate Christmas and everyone was too nice! No stealing of presents at all! But it was a great way to get Christmas going. Becky surprised us with empty jars, ribbons, fabric, paper and foam pieces so we all could make our very own Christmas jars. It was such a great idea and had a couple of us in tears. :) It was such a great time to get together, eat great food, talk about a great book and do a project for a great cause.
The next book is yet another Christmas book, which is perfect for us to read through Christmas day! It is called Skipping Christmas by John Grisham.
Here are some photos of the night!
