When I think of abundance at Christmas, I think about our favorite Christmas book by Dickens.

Here we go.

I do.

I think about the ghost of Christmas present and how he has that torch that's just dripping with blessing and about how he's just sprinkling it on everybody and making everything better

everywhere he goes.

And that's the kind of magic I actually think about when I think about mom being the magic

of Christmas.

Yeah.

She's just that torch sprinkling, amazing blessing all over the house and everywhere they go.

Yeah. they go. Welcome to Skalae Sisters, where we are cultivating the maximum number of

thinking moms we can. This is the podcast for classical homeschooling mamas, who yearn for something

more than just checking boxes and getting it

all done. Scalae Sisters discusses topics that matter to those of us who believe that educating

ourselves through reading widely, thinking deeply, and applying faithfully, equips us for the task

of educating our children. I'm your host, Randy Vensel. To get my free, almost weekly, mostly
