Old friends and new have joined our collection of books and movies. Hours of quiet joy are ahead of us (or are already behind us on this day after Christmas.) Some will return to Middle Earth, others will attend to the intellectual life of the Christian faith, and one dear person intends to keep us supplied in apple pies as long as the provisions hold out.
Special thanks to anneofgreencurtains for the recommendation of Letters from Father Christmas, by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a collection of letters that Tolkien penned to his own children, complete with his own illustrations. We love it.
Also, thanks to Writing and Living for the recommendation of
The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind . That, and
Habits of the Mind: Intellectual Life as a Christian Calling, is keeping our Christmas Break Man very happy.
Hidden just outside the bottom left-hand corner is a lovely scarf that my daughter made for me. It is an elegant black and cream, and it is the most beautiful scarf I have ever owned. Made by my own daughter's hands. Wow!
