Secret Santa

This year I wanted to make more of an effort of celebrating Advent.  Back in September when I was ordering school supplies I ordered a book by Lisa Whelchel (Blair on Facts of Life) that explained the story behind each of the Christmas symbols… I finally found it yesterday in the bookshelf I had looked through about eight times.  I also wanted to do an Advent wreath and light the candles each Sunday together as a family.  We missed the first week but I managed to pull it together for this last Sunday (except for the Christ candle, which I think is kind of important.)  The other book I ordered last week which has a reading for each day and an activity hasn’t shipped yet…and this would pretty much summarize life around here.  What are the chances I’ll put these altogether, in a place I can find them, on time, next year?
