T’was the last time A Novel Bunch met before Christmas,
All here was full of holiday cheer
As they sat around the table sharing stories
They laughed, inspired and teared.
And were reminded of all they hold dear.
At the closing of the year with our Book Club we spent quite
abit of time talking about Christmas memories and what has stood out in our
minds. It is always so revealing and fun to learn what each person finds as
their best gift or the one that left an indelible impression on our lives.
We also shared some of our favorite holiday books and
movies. With abundance to choice from, many had to pass. As other women spoke up,
much agreement was heard when familiar titles were stated.
With such a positive group, it was not surprising that so
many of the selections were indeed comedy selections. It sort of epitomizes
this club. Though the book selections are across all genres of literary works,
the heart of the personality of the women is fun-loving and easy to laughter
individuals.
I complied a video to share the selections of this group,
one of my favorite clubs to be a part of for sure! This year I feel I have grown with this group
and look forward to continuing this journey with them in 2019. May you find yourself laughing at some of the
selections and memories. Interspersed within the video of the choices they
made. Interspersed in the video are some gifts that stood out in members’ minds
in Christmas’ long past. Note, none are the high ticketed items that so many
have on their wish lists but the small ones given with love. May we all be less
focused on the dollar value of the gift this Christmas and more focused on the
value of giving.
Merry Christmas
