I do feel for my kids in the sense that I say it's off, time off, but I'm counting so much of

what we're doing toward their portfolio.

You know, we do so much.

For example, we're doing Christmas around the world kind of stuff.

They're getting possibly more geography in December than throughout the rest of the year,

just because there's so much to dive into in the holiday season. And they're more interested in reading and they're so excited about the cooking. And it's

so funny because to them it's time off. But to me, it's just a shift in what we're doing.

This is Your Morning Basket, where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.

Well, hello there, and I just want to welcome you to episode 127 of the Your Morning Basket

podcast. I'm Pam Barnhill, your host, and I'm so happy that you are joining me here

today for the final episode of this podcast season before we take just a little bit of a break

for December. And speaking of December, that's what today's podcast episode

is all about. It is about leaning into Christmas traditions and kind of doing a little bit of

holiday school to make your life easier around the holidays. And so super, super excited to have my

guest, Abby Stone on. Abby is from Rooted in Rest, which is a

YouTube channel where she encourages homeschool moms and it was just a fun conversation that I

can't wait to share with you. Now before we get on with that conversation, I would like to invite you

speaking of Christmas school to come on over to the website at pambarnhill.com slash Christmas.

We have a free Christmas download for you.

These are our Advent morning time plans that you can download and do with your kids at home.

Print them out.

There's a few weeks worth of activities, picture study, music study, wonderful picture
