Tomorrow is the first Sunday in Advent -- December 2, 2007 for this year. It's snowing outside, but by morning it will be a rainy, sloppy mess. The Christmas lights are up outside. We've started decorating the house. Both trees are up and the lights are on. The ornaments are still waiting to be hung. The Nativity is on the fireplace hearth, but Baby Jesus won't appear until Christmas.After the trees and lights are done, the first thing that happens at our house is the Advent Calendar goes on the wall. We have a wooden Advent calendar. At the top is the Nativity scene and on the bottom are small doors with wooden ornaments inside. Each day Alex opens a door and places an ornament in the Nativity scene.
