The cover of a book entitled ‘The Stories of our Christmas Customs - A Ladybird Book’. The cover depicts a wonderfully evocative painting of a group of four individuals, wrapped warmly against the winter weather, standing outside the house of a woman - standing inside, with the front door ajar - watching them sing Christmas carols to her.
Starting the day with a reflective reading from my personal holiest book of wisdom. #LadybirdBooks
