Welcome to the Spoke and Feather Advent Calendar

Change of plans, instead of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, here's a recording with our wonderful Lilly. We asked her what her favorite thing about Christmas was and she said, "Being with my family."

Emily's sister loves this song. Some people feel it's often overdone, and it can lose some of its emotional impact when performed in a showy manner. There are many rich points in this melody that grip the listener and build to a massive culmination. It's exactly how we'll feel on Christmas.

It's Christmas Eve and I guess, most importantly, people should sing with their parents as much as possible. 

We don't often get Mary's perspective in a lot of things. This is her prophetic vision and a moment of peace between her and her child. Super important. Super beautiful.
