Welcome to Day 21 of the Virtual Advent Tour!

This morning at 5:44 EST (10:44 UTC) is the Winter Solstice, marking the darkest day of the year. However, however! Even today, sunset is coming smidges later than it did yesterday. And that’s going to keep happening. We aren’t going to be able to notice it for a while, since we get only seconds more a day. But seconds add up to minutes and minutes up to hours. We just have to be patient and have faith, and in the meantime light the lights, sing the songs, and celebrate what we can. I choose to celebrate all of you, who came together this season to make something I’ve enjoyed quite a lot. Thank you.

And, so, today the Virtual Advent Tour heads to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz. Deb has a suggestion for those of us feeling a little adrift this holiday season: start a tradition!

Deb, thanks for joining the Virtual Advent Tour again this year and for writing a great post!

Check back here tomorrow for the next stop on the Virtual Advent Tour.
