In today’s episode I am bringing you a reflection from former guest and writer, Jeanette Rath, a young homemaker disenchanted with the commercial trappings and hustle of our culture’s version of Christmas.

It’s in the sacrificial love of the home where her joy and hope in the season are restored.

And I have another essay of mine for you to cap off our 2025 season of Advent reflections. So, enjoy these short little stories as you do some christmas shopping or deck the halls.
