A Catholic Life Podcast: Episode 134

This is Episode 134 of the A Catholic Life Podcast. In today’s episode I address the timely observation this week of Thanksgiving – Let Advent be Advent. When we can start decorating for Christmas is an often-debated item. In a world where the Christmas Tree in secular or protestant homes is up around Thanksgiving, the Catholic world is seen as an outlier. So when should a traditional Catholic decorate for Christmas and how should Advent be celebrated? I address these today.
