✨“Christmas is a replacement of shadows with the real thing.”✨
rating: 3 ⭐️
why three stars, you may ask. well, we read this aloud as a family. honestly, it was a lot to digest and i would have preferred reading it slowly to myself to understand every run on sentence loaded with truth:)
so i gave it this rating because it just didn’t feel very life changing which is probably due to the fact that i didn’t completely understand it as we read:)
