(advent) A gift, just for all of you…

When I was a child, we had a huge Advent calendar on our wall that went up about 2 days before December 1st. It was a house, and every day in December, we got to move Santa closer and closer to the Christmas tree in the living room. I love Christmas. So this year, I wanted to do a very special Advent calendar for all of you.

I’m going to give you an Advent story.

I hope you enjoy it – I’m enjoying writing it. Every day, you’ll get a bit more of the story. It may be longer or shorter, depending on what happens in the story, but it will all wrap up on Christmas Day. This is my gift to you, and I hope you all enjoy it.

December 1

Merry Christmas!

Would you like to listen to the carol SA left Molly?
