Season’s Greetings! Today is the 21st of December and the Winter Solstice. Friends, our shortest day has arrived, and with each passing day we’ll be gaining a little more light back into our lives. May that be true for us all on a more spiritual level, as well as astronomical.
Today, I’m delighted to introduce a new participant in the Virtual Advent Tour: my dear friend at Blue-Footed Musings. Its author (whom I probably should have asked how she wanted to be referred to here) has shared the lovely story of two of her favorite Christmas things.
Revel in the darkest day, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow, for time it is fleeting.

Today is December 20, which means we’re well and truly into the home stretch of the Virtual Advent Tour.
Our host today is Kathy B at Compassionknit. She’ll have a post up a little later this morning, so do stop over there and check it out. (In the meantime, you can check out her cat with Santa, which made me very jealous.)
I’m feeling a little under the weather, so I’m going to post this with only a general link to Rudi’s blog. He’s driving from Salt Lake City and arrived in Kansas tonight.
We did it! Or maybe time did it, despite our howling wildly and clinging to its ankles. Either way, we’ve made it to the final week of the Advent season.
Behind today’s door, we have a second post from raidergirl3 at an adventure in reading. She shares memories of Christmas visits to her grandmother and includes one of her Nan’s recipes for us to try. (For those of you don’t know, raidergirl3 is the longest-running participant in the Virtual Advent Tour, which I’m pretty sure is how we “met” oh so many years ago now.)
Before you head off to her blog, though, make sure you listen to the song above. I like to find a Canadian song to pair up with raidergirl3’s post every year. This year, I found a link to “Dear Old Santa,” written and performed by Liah Clayton, a 16-year-old girl from Prince Edward Island, who is donating the song’s proceeds to CBC’s Feed a Family Campaign.
I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
