Where is your focus over the holidays? Are you so busy pursuing “magical memories” that you fail to live in the moment? Holly Mackle joins Karen Hodge to redefine what makes a meaningful family moment, and Holly shares her own struggle to live in the truth of what really matters.
Discussion Questions
- Describe an episode in the life of your family similar to Holly’s Zoo Light Safari.
- Have you and your family discussed a plan for approaching the holidays together? What would be some of your priorities?
- What are some traditions your family has that are low cost?
- Make your own lists of “What we do at Christmas” & “What we don’t do at Christmas”.
