Santa! NO!
Today is the Feast of St. Nicholas, and I learned something new. St. Nick wasn’t just a kindly pastor who gave money to the needy; he also punched heretics. The basics are this: Nicholas was a contemporary of Arian, and at the ecumenical council called to sort out the Arian controversy (and eventually we got the […]

The First Sunday in Advent
Today is the first Sunday of Advent, the season in the Christian calendar when Christians have traditionally prepared for the coming (Advent) of the Messiah. We’re in a bit of a pressure-cooker season, so I’m not sure how much preparation will get done. But even if my halls go completely undecked, we’ll set up our […]

It reminded me of this hilarious tale from the Deputy Headmistress about getting called out on the big Santa lie by her tiny daughter. I don’t remember […]

Christmas books and traditions
Last night was a rare night with just me and the boys. After watching Pumpkin Chunkin, I realized we hadn’t delved into our book basket, one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I’ve been collecting them since Little Miss’s first Christmas, so some are tattered, and some have had to be purged. But we’ve gathered a […]

Fighting the cold
Both the virus kind of cold and the freezing temperatures. So how about some holiday cheer for the battle? If you need me, I’ll be under a pile of blankets clutching a box of tissues and a mug of hot tea. This video went viral yesterday, for good reason. Nice going, Canadians! Don’t forget to […]

Fine Arts Friday: Christmas!
*Yes, I know this is Saturday. But instead of being a good blogger and finishing and scheduling my post on Thursday night, I left it to finish Friday morning. Then the ice storm hit and we had no internet. I couldn’t finish or post it yesterday, so you get it today. Christmas is one of […]
