* Advent Calendar 2017 – Book of the Day for December 2

Each day of December leading up to Christmas, we will feature one of the best books of 2017!
TODAY's book is now live...

and straight into Christmas. It is especially easy for us to do so with
the holiday music to which we listen. As we prepare for the beginning of Advent
on Sunday, we offer this playlist of Advent-themed songs.
Some of these are were not necessarily written as Advent songs,
but they wrestle with vital themes of the season nonetheless.
