Advent: December 7th Dec7 Every year on this date, my mom would ask me, “Do you know what today is?” “Christmas? Almost Christmas? The beginning of Christmas?” I eventually learned that December 7th has nothing to do with Christmas. Go here for an article by Maggie Hogan on commemorating this “date which will live in infamy” in your homeschool.
