Advent Wreaths are not for...


This past week, a friend of mine posted as her Facebook status how, and I quote, "Eli****** is so proud to see her sons readying their hearts for the upcoming celebration of the birth of Christ by 'barbecuing' their dinner nightly over the Advent candle!" At first I got quite a giggle, with visions of skewers and hotdogs over the royal purple and white candles. I even commented on her post about how boys will be boys.

BUT... I had to eat my words last night when, as S was reading how the angel Gabriel visited Zachariah foretelling the birth of John the Baptist, J held his piece of pizza over the lit wreath "...to warm it up, Mom." Duh!


Never thought in a million years that I would have to formulate the sentence, "Boys, Advent Wreaths are not for reheating pizza".

  8. That is hilarious! My daughter is learning about Advent in school. It's so funny how she gathers information and then recounts it back to me. She said it's about waiting. But, no barbecue over the wreat yet. :)

    SO RESOURCEFUL. It's so unlike boys to multi-task. Brilliant!
