Small Christmas: A Book for Bringing Back the Magic

You were never meant to finish Christmas. You were meant to have one.

Christmas gets bigger every year.
More errands.
More lists.
More things someone once decided were absolutely mandatory.
More joy. (although we have it on good authority that is not exactly how joy works)

This year, let's go smaller.

Small Christmas is a companion for finding the good part again: familiar rituals, thoughtful gifts, ordinary gatherings, ridiculous traditions, and small things worth keeping. It is not a guide for how to do more.

Consider what actually creates joy. Make a little Christmas with what you already have. Give something useful, comforting, or completely ridiculous. Save a recipe. Remember someone missing. Assess a candy cane with unnecessary seriousness.

There are pages for choosing, making do, giving, gathering, keeping, and merry nonsense — with room to write, draw, remember, and develop very specific opinions. 

Fair warning: your tape roll may acquire a proper name. Has anyone seen Reginald?

Inside you'll find 60 pages of prompts, observations, activities, poems, and correspondence from Tumbledown Hollow. It's actually quite ridiculous.
What you won't find inside: a plan for pulling off the perfect Christmas, decorating schemes, shopping checklists, a daily schedule of magical moments to manufacture, or the best way to make twelve different types of Christmas cookies for the school fundraiser that happens to be tomorrow.
