Discover the Joy of Advent

What a thrill to get to sit down with Tsh Oxenreider from The Commonplace and talk all about growing families, changing seasons, and the joy of celebrating Advent! This was a special conversation because Tsh is also sharing it on her podcast, A Drink With a Friend.

We discuss changing traditions, how ot slow down in a culture of “busy,” and ways to insert more quiet and beauty in our days during Advent and beyond.

Takeaways

* Family traditions can evolve and hold deep meaning.

* The pressure to create the perfect Advent experience can be overwhelming.

* Social media can distort our perceptions of parenting and traditions.

* Art can be a powerful tool for contemplation during the season.

* We can choose how to engage with the liturgical calendar.

* Finding balance in holiday traditions can reduce stress and enhance joy.

* Adding beauty to daily life can be as simple as reading a book or enjoying nature.
