\nWelcome to Day 19 of the Virtual Advent Tour!<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n
\n

It’s the final Monday before Christmas. I hope you’re winding down with your to-do lists. I seem to keep adding to mine, which do not include enough “veg out while listening to Christmas music” items and instead seem to either involve my being in different places at the same time or using my hands in vastly incompatible tasks. (Knitting and baking really don’t vie well for the same space and time).<\/p>\n

Today the Virtual Advent Tour returns to Day 5 host, Kat, at As Kat Knits<\/a>. Kat posts early in the morning, so I’ll update this post after I log back in. In the meantime, enjoy the mystery!<\/del> Update: Kat shares some thoughts on seeking light<\/a> at this dark time of the year.<\/p>\n

Thank you once again, Kat, for helping out with the Virtual Advent Tour this year!<\/p>\n

Check back here tomorrow for the next stop on the Virtual Advent Tour<\/a>. <\/p>\n
