Happy Gaudete Sunday!

 


The tablecloth is fake—not Battenburg lace, but cheap, kid-friendly vinyl.

The candles are fake, with kid-friendly LED lights instead of real flames.

These are the things we do to keep our home manageable and safe during Advent for visiting grandchildren, 13 of them here in VA aged 8 and under.

Not everything is fake, though; the joy of the season is absolutely real.

    Lovely! I bought fake candles for my Advent wreath this year, too. Seeing them flickering all day long from when I get up (still dark) until bedtime is such a nice reminder of the season.
