Notes from my week.
- The Christmas activities have begun. This week we went to see The Chosen Christmas special in the theater (a warning for parents of young kids: it’s about an hour-and-a-half of music, with maybe 30 minutes of actual show).
- We also did a couple of our annual Christmas traditions: The Spirit of the Holidays Lighted Parade and Bethlehem Revisited, a living nativity experience.
