Summary

Today we’re airing one of my favorite episodes from last year, all about Jolabokaflod, which is a Christmas “book flood,” in the Icelandic tradition.

What if I told you this tradition makes your life easier, not harder?

During Jolabokaflod, you gift members of your family with new books, and everyone drinks hot cocoa and spends the whole of Christmas Eve reading. If I didn’t get your attention before, I’ve got it now.

There is so much that happens this time of year that adds to our to-do list, that puts more on our plates, but Jolabokaflod is truly a joy. It is a moment of rest and refreshment for you too.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Where the tradition came from
3 super-simple steps to your own Jolabokaflod
How other mamas just like you have made the tradition their own

I hope you bring this tradition to your family and that you have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.

0:00.0	Hey, Sarah here. I wanted to give you a heads up that the price for R. A.
0:05.5	premium is going up on January 5th, 2024. So if you've been thinking of joining us,
0:11.6	now is the time.
0:13.0	R-A-R premium is the online community for mamas who want to teach from rest and raise kids who love to read.
0:21.0	You'll find Circle with Sarah, my premium weekly coaching
0:24.8	podcast for homeschooling moms that our members tell us is worth the price of
0:29.1	membership all by itself. You'll also find our family book Club, including a monthly Family Book Club
0:35.1	guide and Family Book Club Live. This is open and go literature curriculum for
0:40.5	ages 5-18 that does not feel like curriculum and does not feel like school
0:45.4	and it turns kids of all ages into voracious readers.
0:50.0	If you've been on the fence about joining R-A-R premium, this is the absolute best time to do it.
0:55.3	Because if you join before January 5th, you lock in the current lower price for as long as you remember.
1:01.9	Right now, it's only $19 a month, $49 a quarter or $189 a year.
1:08.4	And if you join by January 5th, before January 5th, then that's the price you'll pay for the life of your membership
1:15.4	because we never increase the price for existing members. From January 5th
1:20.3	onward it'll be $25 a month, $67 a quarter or $240 a year.
1:26.8	Still a fabulous value but it's a no-brainer to join before prices go up so you can lock in
1:32.0	or lower rates.
1:33.6	Just text my name, Sarah, S-A-R-A-H,
1:37.6	to the number 3-3-7-7,
1:40.6	and I'll send you a direct link, or you can go to R-A-R- Premium.com.
1:47.0	See you there.
