It can be good to let this season reveal itself … slowly. #adventatmaplehurst
Happy Thanksgiving Eve, US friends. When I was growing up, we always decorated for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, but then we took everything down by Jan 1. Since my kids were little, we have observed the traditional 12 days of Christmastide (Dec 25-Jan 5), which has meant decorating slowly over Advent and taking everything (except my big paper star!) down on Epiphany (Jan 6). I appreciate how calendars allow us to live out stories in time, and I love the story of expectation / fulfillment / revelation that Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany embody. ✨ Advent doesn’t begin until December 3 this year, and I still haven’t decided if I’ll do any decorating this weekend. Eventually, I’ll clear this table for our tabletop Christmas tree. I’ll miss a good spot for piles of books (I have so many piles!), but twinkly lights and piled presents really are preferred by everyone else in this house. 😉 🎄
