Tim and I recently watched A Hidden Life, a film I hadn't heard about before Tim borrowed it from the library. It's based on the true story of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian conscientious objector during WWII (and I just found out he was beatified in 2007!). It isn't a lighthearted watch but I highly recommend it!
This quote at the end really stuck with me:
Just wanted to share the Christmas books we've added to our collection since this last post! Several of these I picked up last February from a local library's used bookstore (who knows if it'll ever re-open *sniff*), others were gifts, thrifted, or from other used bookstores.
The Christmas Boot
The Night Before Christmas, illustrated by Tomie dePaola
The Story of the Three Wise Kings
The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher
The Spider's Gift
Bambinelli Sunday
The Real Mother Goose Book of Christmas Carols
A Country Christmas by Cynthia Rylant
A Wish to be a Christmas Tree
And added this year:
The Quiet Little Woman by Louisa May Alcott
The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas: An Austin Family Story by Madeline L'Engle (had a really difficult time tracking this one down for a not $$ price; the linked copy is the cheapest price I've seen yet!)
The Christmas Cupboard by Margo Hoff
Seek and Find: A Christmas Carol (Learned of this from my sister- such a cute book!)
