Advent starts Sunday! We sure are getting excited around here! We even had trial runs of O Come, O Come Emmanuel! and People Look East! at breakfast this morning! Friday and Saturday we'll be pulling out the Advent wreath and Jesse Tree and dusting off some of the holiday books!
I'm not planning on writing much that's Advent-y or Christmas-y this year. But I did enjoy looking back through some of my past holiday posts and thought I'd stick some of them together here for you.

I can't wait to get out holiday book basket out! In this old post, I starred our
favorites. What are you favorite picture books to share with kids during
Advent and Christmas?

Music that we love that's not Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer or Barenaked Ladies
singing We Three Kinds (which I'm pretty sure is one of the all time absolute worst
recordings of a Christmas song. Of all time. Ever. All time.)

My favorite books for my own personal spiritual reading during Advent.

10 Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids that Are Not Stuff
I love this list, if I do say so myself! It's refreshing to bless our kids, and to be blessed by others with thoughtful gifts that don't add to our clutter.
(Cause, boy, do we have enough clutter!)
But if you ARE in the market for some good old fashioned Christmas toys, here are some
that the kids and I heartily recommend!

Like the old song says, "comments are a girl's best friend." Or something like that... So... leave a comment! I love chatting here! Pretend you're on my back porch, kick the broken plastic sandbox toys aside, sip your iced coffee, or beer, or (__fill in the blank with your beverage of choice__) and let's talk about all the things, because back-porch blogging is what I do!
