The tradition of acknowledging Advent dates back to about 1500, when the church designated the four weeks preceding Christmas day as a time of fasting and penance.

Advent with the Bridge Family

As the three of us kids grew up and moved away, this is how I feel close to my family this time of year, and I want to share it with all of you as a way of inviting all of you to join us at the supper table.  Metaphorically speaking. I don’t think I could fit all of the awesome Internet people here at the dinner table.

Well, if there’s anyone crazy enough to try, it would totally be us. Just saying.
