I have still not been successful finding the letters we decorated last year. Luckily I have my own personal artist at home!
I’ve also not been successful in finding our advent wreath frame. I remember packing away the Christmas decorations last year and thinking I’d be clever and put the advent wreath somewhere I could find it easily this year. No such luck!
For the past several years we have gotten one of the Lego advent calendars. Not so this year.
I’d like to say that COVID is the reason for not having my act together for Advent, but that would just be an excuse. Nor would it explain why this happens every year! I loathe the earlier and earlier Christmas decorations showing up all over. I’ve even grown resentful about #GivingTuesday as just another way to the get on the bandwagon of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
This is why I’m grateful for the Advent season. It gives me time to prepare. It helps remind me of all the preparing God is doing. Just one lone candle reminds me this week.
