Inspired by Pinterest, Anna wanted to do an advent calendar. And inspired by Advent Conspiracy, she wanted to make it about presence, not presents. Ian had a brilliant idea to use music. We each picked out some of our favorite Christmas songs and will be counting down with festive tunes.
day 20. "Christmastime Is Here" - A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas has never been a huge tradition in our family, but even without cable we still end up seeing it about once a season. And I don't mind. I love that something so traditional, something that quotes the Bible not ironically, is still an American staple. It's the 1965 version of Advent Conspiracy: peeling away rampant consumerism to find the real meaning of Christmas. Thanks, Linus.
—Anna
Christmas time is here Happiness and cheer Fun for all that children call Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air Carols everywhere Olden times and ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here We'll be drawing near Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year...
