Yuletide

Advent began on Sunday. I love this season. A time of preparation and repentance. This year I am reading "Christmas Spirit" by George Grant and Gregory Wilbur. I hope to post occasionally something from that book (or one of our other Advent books) that is particularly meaningful to me. So, for today...

"There is something about saying, 'We always do this,' which helps keep the years together. Time is such an elusive thing that if we keep on meaning to do something interesting, but never do it, year would follow year with no special thoughtfulness being expressed in making gifts, surprises, charming table settings, and familiar, favorite food. Tradition is a good gift, intended to guard the best gifts." ~Edith Schaeffer

I hope you are enjoying this Advent season.
Blessings,
Linda
