In this fun episode, we talk about ways we celebrate Advent as a family. We go over Jesse Tree crafts, various advent devotionals. Then we talk about whether or not you should teach your child about Santa, and our mutual hatred of Elf on the Shelf. We talk about the overkill of moralism that is often taught during the Christmas season, and keeping our eyes set on remembering what is important. We talk about the pressure to do everything, and make things magical. You can also find out why the shepherd is always in a different spot in Gretchen's home's nativity lately.
