My 2021 End of Year Lists - Barack Obama - Medium
Here’s my annual list of favorite books, music, and movies. Art always sustains and nourishes the soul. But for me, music and storytelling felt especially urgent during this pandemic year — a way to connect even when we were cooped up.

So if you have your own recommendations to share, I’ll add them to the stack of books and movies I hope to catch up on over the holidays!Favorite Books ...

Holiday Traditions - Jessica Martin - Medium
I didn’t send any cards in 2020. A lot of people didn’t — I suppose no one felt like writing Christmas letters or picking a photo from that sad year. We did do a few small things.
