Its Advent, a wonderful time of the year. We are already in the third week of Advent. We await the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Houses are cleaned, Christmas trees put up, adorned with ornaments, glittering and shimmering. Lights sparkle, illuminating the outside and the inside of houses. Recipes are discussed and menus are planned. Dresses and gifts bought, kept ready for the festive day. Letters to Santa posted promptly, and of course greeting cards posted to friends and families.
