The wait is almost over—Christmas is nearly here!
We’re marking the transition in the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast with a new episode on Christmas and Christmastide—perfect for listening to as you prepare for guests or journey out of town for your Christmas celebration.
In this episode we explore themes and traditions associated with Christmas and discuss what it’s like to start new traditions and celebrate the full twelve days of the Christmas season, also known as “Christmastide.”

And if you like what you hear, would you mind sharing it on social media and leaving a review? It helps spread the word, and I’ll be giving away a Sacred Seasons calendar or hand-lettered print to one lucky reviewer who leaves a review of the podcast on iTunes between now and our next episode on January 6!
