December 13th was the childrens’ Christmas program at the German American Society. If I haven’t clarified already, we are not German Americans. A very kind couple at our church gave us a year’s membership to the society and we have been enjoying as much of it as we can! Every Saturday Lily, Clara, Gerhardt and Esther have been taking German lessons.

“The night will soon be ending, the dawn can not be far.” These words repeat in my mind this Advent season. I’m sure we all feel the same, that these days we live in seem dark and are becoming darker.
Perhaps that is why Advent becomes more dear to me each year with it’s focus on the dawn that is coming.
Oh, brighter than that glorious morn
Shall dawn upon our race
The day when Christ in splendor comes
And we shall see his face.

Sunday we remembered St. Lucy (or St. Lucia) with bright candle light early in the morning.

Meet our “Elf on the Shelf.” Lily’s friend at school is doing this with her family and she reeeeally wanted us to as well. I’ve never looked into the Elf on the Shelf tradition so I don’t know what all is involved. But maybe I should.
Holding elves hostage is totally something I could get behind.
