Immanuel Wreath

I listen to a podcast everyday called "Don't Miss This" the creators of the podcast, Emily Bell Freeman and David Butler also created the Immanuel Wreath, where you focus on one name of Christ everyday throughout December and light the candle for that day and all previous days for 25 days.

With Forgotten Carols not coming to town this year, we got tickets for Laughing all the Way with Hank Smith, Meg Johnson and John Bytheway.
Calli loves Hank Smith and was so excited to see him. It was really funny.
