My friend, Jeanne, of At A Hen's Pace has a beautiful Advent poem up. Also, wish her a happy anniversary - it's a big one plus one!
A lovely rendition of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" featuring lovely madonnas from across the Christian world is up at On a Joyful Journey. Her blog is brand new - so go by and welcome her to the blogosphere!
Last Sunday in church, we discussed what it means that God is with us always. This touching story (very short), to me, illustrates beautifully how the Lord is with us even when things are bleak.
Ann at Holy Experience can always be counted on for a thougtful and thought-provoking...wait, and ACTION provoking, post. She doesn't disappoint in "How to Celebrate Christmas".
An Advent recap (a sort of accidental Advent lesson learned) from "Et Tu?"
Happy Catholic just turned me on to a wonderful online magazine "Dappled Things". Their current issus has an article I plan on reading during my Christmas break: "The Truth of His Humanity"
The Archbishop of Canterbury discusses the nativity as folklore and adds a little more fuel to the Anglican fire...here's a log and another. I'm sure there will be more.
One last craft to keep the kids busy during the last couple of days before Christmas.
While they are crafting, perhaps you will enjoy storytime with a "thatmom" podcast of: A Long John Christmas.
And totally cheating here - a straight cut and paste from StandFirm:

these all look so good. Thanks for compiling them.
May I add one more? EWTN is rebroadcasting a recorded concert of the “Christmas Oratorio” composed by Russian Orthodox Bishop Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Vienna and Austria. It will be shown on Sunday Dec. 23rd at 1:30 PM (Eastern time I assume). This was done local to me. The Bascillica of the Immaculate Conception was kind enough to host this concert and several people from my parish (including my priest who was snapping beautiful photos) went and said it was wonderful.
