For day 1 of #decemberdreams I thought I‘d do a book that‘s all about a magical #advent calendar! I love everything about jostein gaardner and this one is so so gorgeous, everything magic I love about Christmas.

Who else love advent calendar?
This year I made #AdventCalendar for my daughter. Used these middle size brown envelopes and decorated them with Christmas stitches. I put inside some candies, figure toys, coloring pages, activities... She can't wait for every day to open them.

I bought this when it was published, which the book & the price tag stuck on the back tell me was 1996! I read it then & remember liking it a lot. This month I've been craving fluffy, undemanding reads & was happy to find it this on my shelf. There's something old-fashioned about Gaarder's children books but in a good way. It's about the meaning of Christmas, but it's also about the magic, mystery, & miracle of the diversity of humanity & beliefs.

Nute Sounds like a perfect read for these times and this season. Frequently, of late, my brain has been desiring undemanding reads serving as a sort of balm to help get through the stresses of current everyday living. So happy that you found a book close at hand on your bookshelf.😊 3y
batsy @Nute A balm is right! That's exactly what I need from my reading currently. And thank you, it is lovely to "shop" in one's own book collection sometimes ?❤️ 3y
Lindy I‘m glad you‘ve hit on the balm you need. My comfort reading at the moment is popular science. Maybe it‘s because science has a degree of certainty to it. 🤷 3y

Cathythoughts So glad you found solace ❤️ 3y
annamatopoetry love this one, read it as a calendar book for a bunch of years, but haven't gotten around this year. 3y
batsy @Lindy That makes sense! When lockdown first started and the pandemic was "new" to us in a sense, back in March, I actually found this weirdly comforting. It set parameters for what could happen, in a way, that was better than not knowing 3y
batsy @Cathythoughts Thank you, Cathy ❤️ 3y
batsy @annamatopoetry I meant to read it the same, but couldn't limit myself to a chapter a day :) It was lovely as my "night book" to dip into before bed. 3y
Lindy I‘ve checked and Spillover is in my public library‘s collection. There are 2 copies and 14 holds ahead of me, but I will get my turn eventually. Thanks for the recommendation. 3y
annamatopoetry have you read The Solitaire Mystery? Same author, same age target, one of my absolute favorites, as a kid and ever. 3y

Opened the REMartKABLE WOMEN #adventcalendar my mom gave me & found a quote by Fanny Mendelsohn Bartholdys dad: „Music may become his profession, but for you it must remain an ornament, never the bassline of your being and doing. Thus adhere, and remain feminine, because only through femininity woman is embelished.“ referring to her famous composer brother Felix. 🙈 Though her talent equaled his she was never allowed to publish or perform! #sexism

CBee This book is fantastic and touches on this very subject: 3y

My first holiday read of the #wintergames2020 finished! This was, like all Gaardner books, wonderfully mysterious, strange and heartwarming. A boy finds a strange homemade advent calendar which tells part of a story every day and leads to answers about woman who went missing decades before. Highly recommend!
