I love our tradition of receiving a tree from a family in our former parish who own a tree farm. Our first couple years of marriage Phil would sneak out to a ditch off the road and cut one down while I stood watch. Fun times. We were rescued from the adventurous Bonny and Clyde life by this kind man who has gifted us with a tree since then.

On December 20th the Church remembers Katharina Von Bora Luther, or Katie Luther wife of Martin Luther. I’ll admit so many of these commemorations this close to Christmas usually slip by me. I always intend to keep these days somehow, especially Katie Luther day, but there’s always so much going on etc etc.
But this year we marked the day…two times! On Wednesday the 20th I talked to the kids in the morning about Katharina, who she was and some of what she is known for doing. One of those is for making beer, like Daddy does. I was sick and sent to bed before we could make our own “beer” that evening, so we got to talk about Katie the next day as well.

On December 20th the big kids performed in the school Winter Program. They got dolled up this year for the occasion.

On December 19th the Church remembers Adam and Eve. The 3 littles and I keep this day by making Adam and Eve books. We talk about the Devil and sin and why Jesus had to come to die for us.
