Its gone a bit quiet, so thought I'd start a thread. Orthodox Advent started yesterday, which means that there are 40 (not necessarily shopping) days to...
I've always thought of advent being fun. I've never heard of people fasting over advent (thought that was reserved for lent). Not heard of "winterval" either;...
I've been thinking about the nature of "thick skins", I guess thick skin can be interpreted in different ways. To me it means it means no longer caring about...
