This is a somewhat odd Advent Calendar, in some respects.\u00a0 It’s very Mary-ish, for one thing.\u00a0 And I was having a particularly busy \/ messy Advent, so my posts got shorter and shorter with every day.\u00a0 And then, on December 20th, my grandfather died, and it all got rather funereal.\u00a0 But this calendar also contains some of my absolutely all time favourite Advent music, and even the bits which aren’t quite Adventy are very beautiful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
