We are celebrating a ‘hybrid’ Advent this year-sort of combining the best of the East (Orthodox) with the Best of the West (hubby is RC)… Nativity Fast begins on the 15th-but the candle lighting won’t start until Saturday evening the 1st of December.

I finished the wreath this afternoon. No accidents with hot glue guns this year…

I apologize for the photo quality.  I am having problems with the digital camera settings.  If I don’t use a flash-everything comes out that warm yellow.  If I do use the flash it is too bright.  I guess I have to read the instructions  that came with the camera!
