Is anyone else feeling as I do that this advent stocking thing has gone on long enough?  I don’t think I’ve longed so much for Christmas to arrive since I was a child.  Today’s stocking #18 was “Create a Winter Diorama.”  Perhaps we could just skip it …. but no … Sister is still keeping track of the puppet show we skipped back on day 4.  Perhaps tomorrow.  Our sitter called.  She has strep throat which means bed for her and no date for us.  This might be good filler.
