Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year

“Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year by Beth Kempton offers warm, low key ideas for honoring the end of the year and ‘to celebrate, acknowledge those we love and those we miss; to mark the passing of another year and to make peace and pies, marmalade and memories.’ It might inspire you to usher in a quiet, slow, winter-time, safe, socially-distanced 2021.” –Chippewa Valley Post

“Winter is the perfect time to discover the author Beth Kempton… ‘Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year: A little Book of Festive Joy, ’ may help readers find clarity and perspective during this holiday season.” –Fergus Falls Journal

“In soothing prose, Kempton helps readers locate the elements they love most about the before, during and after of the season, with an emphasis on appreciation of the winter months… She doesn’t urge us to celebrate Christmas any one way but encourages us to ‘savor the hush’ of the very end of the year.” –BookPage
