the first Christmas card - and advent calendar

December 1st, 2006

So, we’re into December, and right on cue, our first Christmas card arrives.

Thanks, Jim and Betty!

It’s also an excuse to get out the advent calendar.  I was given this when I was about eight, and have used it most years since.  Never mind the siren song of chocolate in door a day calendars - this one has a poem a day. 

Most of it is familiar, although there are some interesting additions. December 15 has a lion looking in on Mary, as she stirs a pot on a campfire, on the journey to Bethelehem.
