For us, it means that the Advent wreath is back on the table, and the Wandering Wisemen (spelled that way on Facebook) are back with daily Facebook updates on their adventures. If you're not certain what I'm talking about, someone created a less-creepy, Christian version of "elf-on-a-shelf" that has Playmobil characters of Balthazar, Melchior, Gaspar, and their faithful camel, Hezekiah, journey around everyday objects as they head towards Epiphany (no, their journey doesn't end on Christmas). It will bring an extra bit of joy to my morning for the next 40 days.
We had done the same thing (with a similar set of figures) through our house last year (and perhaps the year before, but I'm doubting my memory). It's fun to find new places for them to explore. Rowen is starting to get a little too old for it, but I might check to make certain that they are on the move this year anyway.
Meanwhile, our lights have been switched from our fall orange to the multicolor holiday lights of the season. Connor decided to innovate by attaching a hook to the end of a wooden pole rather than bring the ladder inside this year. It ended up being surprisingly effective and considerably less stressful. Our kittens have been entranced by both the lights and the process of setting them up. I hope that they do not hurt themselves or get destructive with our decorations.
