Advent Reflection

This article was exceptional in explaining the importance of Advent. Dave and I have been discussing (disagreeing) on the importance of Advent within our Christmas preparations/celebrations ...or on the importance of Advent in place of our Christmas preparations/celebrations. We'll get it figured out. Since the line of balance changes from year to year (number of kids, age of kids, etc.) we need to renegotiate the balance occasionally. Also, since we're homeschooling, I have wonderful opportunities to put practices into place during the day, if I desire. I'm enjoying the quiet of Advent more and more with each passing year.
