Tearing a page each from Amy Grant’s “Grown-Up Christmas List” and NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! Predictions segment, each of the Lutheran Ladies here offers five good wishes and one wacky prognostication to ring in the New Year.

Will 2021 be the year of the analog hobby? Will it go down in history as the year Lutherans on both sides of the northern border inaugurate a multinational seminary hockey game (replete with commemorative touk)? And however will we survive both the coming Kombucha Apocalypse and the almost inevitable Great Hug Epidemic? The answers to these and other big questions about 2021 may not be clear — but they sure are fun to think about.
