Thank you for the question, Gail!
My mother read me Madeleine L'Engle's wonderful "Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas" when I was little, and that was my first hint that there was a different (and wonderful) way of thinking about time.
Later still, I became an Anglican, and learned that there was more to the church year than Advent and Easter. I thought I fell in love with the church year then, but I *really* fell for it when I became a mom, and realized that the church year provided the perfect structure for introducing my toddlers to the whole of the gospel.
