This is a story about remembering our favorite gatherings. We invite you to sit back, get comfy and linger with us around the table as we recall why gathering is a sacred art and a divine calling that shows up in each of our ordinary lives. How gathering doesn't equal fancy and full is always about more than the food.

At the end of a long year, on the cusp of a new beginning, pause with us to remember how God has tucked good gifts even into this season of not gathering. All is not lost. Indeed, everything is still waiting to be savored.

This is the last of our December series intended to celebrate the season together. We hope this Out of the Ordinary advent countdown calendar has brought you practical ideas and real joy right in the middle of your ordinary, extraordinary Christmas season too.

Follow us on Instagram to get a peek into our family's Christmas traditions too.
