I would love to have this book, but its totally out of our budget, especially this time of year with gifts and travel to see family. Is there a way to buy it in months to come through anywhere else, or is this it?

In my efforts to create a more meaningful Christmas, I over taxed myself and was feeling stressed. I decided to shelve a few things and simplify, and just do what we could do! Each year we can refine and evaluate our traditions, keeping the ones that mean the most and ridding ourselves of ones that don't!

I found an excellent resource called the Twelve Voices of Christmas radio broadcast that we have been enjoying. I wrote about it on my blog here (http://ahighandnoblecalling.com/2009/12/christmas-traditions/) as well as a few other simple traditions we implemented. Because my grand plans weren't working out, I had to get creative in the final stretch of things!
