This is one of my favorite Christmas gifts. I love having this around the house and flipping to a random obit when I want to take a break between tasks. 💀

Saw this great little book this afternoon that contains obituaries from the New York Times. It looks like such a great book to read thoughts of celebrities, politicians, scientists, and leaders.

Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe, and Nelson Mandela were a couple that caught my eye and made this such a cool looking book!
