Today is the 12th day of December, the first night of Hanukkah, and the end of the first half of the Advent season. That’s hard to believe and painful to think about that final item, so let’s just move along, shall we?<\/p>\n

Behind today’s calendar door is a post from Kat of As Kat Knits. She shares memories of reading to her children at Christmas <\/a>when they were small and some favorite books from those days.<\/p>\n

Also, in case folks still want to play yesterday’s<\/a> Christmas music trivia game (because Rudi tells me it was too hard), I’m going to give it one more day before publishing the correct order. (And just so you all know, I came up with the list of songs and then tried my own hand at guessing before looking up the answers. I only got a quarter of them right.) So stop back tomorrow for answers and a post from a new host!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
