Jerrold Connors @jerroldconnors.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The older I get, the more ambivalent I get about Christmas, I'm sorry to say. But BUT!!!! There is one place I still feel the magic and that is in picture books. ❤️🎄 I'm looking forward to this one by @alleannaharris.bsky.social 120

Reposted by Jerrold ConnorsEvan Urquhart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · 18/06/2026It's worth talking more about the hopeful possibilities I see for the future.
