If Meika and Shelly can count as popular demand, a few ideas for Advent music: First, there is usually an Advent track or two on your Christmas albums. I highly recommend using the gift of mix CDs to take those songs and put them together. I do have an Advent playlist on my iPod. Here [...]
If you’re starting to put some Christmas music into the mix, I’d like to recommend this album. If you’re trying to stick to Advent music, it’s a still a safe bet because there are a few advent tracks. The self-written titles are a little goofy, but who can argue with creative use of a banjo [...]
Meika has tagged me in a meme. I completely second what she says about being thankful. Two things I’m thankful for, maybe not the biggest things, but things none the less: 1.

This is important. It’s a no-brainer. I read this article in the paper yesterday and was slapping my forehead by the time I got through it. Go here for more information.
1. Why do clothes for babies have pockets? Honestly, what would they put in there? 2. Wearing velvet is a lot like having a pregnant belly, in that people want to touch you.
