ReplyDeleteBy an unalterable decree of the law of the Medes and Persians, the fourth Wednesday in Advent does not exist...even when it does! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the beginning of the church year. Advent is a great season. Happy New Year. Oh, and the 4 Wednesday in Advent is too close to Christmas Eve in most cases.
