Advent - Dec 2

This might be my favorite chorale of Handel's Messiah, too.

Advent - Dec 1

I have had the same advent calendar as long as I've been able to read.  There was a time it was encrusted with gold glitter, to the point that touching the plastic bag holding it could transfer glitter to the books around it.  It lived at the very end of my bookshelf so it would always would be there.  Still does, actually, although now it is really not in the least bit glittery.
