I am woefully behind getting up any Advent decorations, but we're still trying to observe a hopeful and expectant Advent. We made St. Nicholas Day a centerpiece of the early days of the season. This weekend we'll be trimming our Christmas tree and decorating our house (if our lad feels up to it), fitting as we celebrate the Third Sunday of Advent called "Gaudete Sunday" or the "joyful" Sunday, rejoicing as Christmas draws ever closer. And for the third year in a row, we're enjoying The Very First Noel, an excellent animated video about the Three Kings' journey to Bethlehem.
The most important preparations are those that we make in our own hearts to receive our King of Kings at Christmas.

Hey Bon, the girls and I watched The Nativity Story for the first time on Friday night. AMAZING!!!!!! It was so good! Meredith was fine with it, because it is PG. Not sure how little Lad D would do with it, but older LAD J should be ok ... and Las... well she is way to little! :) Love you!
