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