2019 Calendars or How’d It Get To Be October Already?

Thoughts on Advent Calendars, Chronic Illness, and Holiday Stress
Updated November 29, 2021 And so it begins. When I was a child, we would start every day in December by lighting an Advent candle. It cast a warm glow over the breakfast table, contrasting with the darkness outside the windows. In Denmark, so much of December is so very dark. Burning down the space…
