I am in the middle of reading Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breatnach, a day book of comfort and joy, 366 messages and essays that touch on so many subjects that uplift the soul. And here is her list of the 12 Christmas gifts patterned after the famous song Twelve Days of Christmas. It’s too good not to share.
