@Kristen – glad you are doing the challenge! Yep, Christmas week is unpredictable, but often still interesting. I look through my logs from 6 years ago each week and it was fun to see how I spent the holidays in 2017-2018! I think you’ll enjoy looking back on an entry saying pack and then unpack – that is life. Thanks for the birthday wishes – there are upsides and downsides to a late December birthday. We shall see what he thinks when he is older!

I am a big fan of BoBW and tried time tracking. Unfortunately the week I chose to start was Christmas week which is anything but predictable and easy to track. I’ve heard you say multiple times on the podcast that no week is a typical week, but today our school district is closed-we are home due to the rainy part of this big storm system, so it seems a little more atypical. Had to write “pack for work…then unpack” as the announcement that the district was closed came in. Happy birthday to your little one! My son turned 7 on Saturday (his actual birthday). We have extended family members who have birthdays on Christmas Day and on 12/27 so we end up doing a family birthday party while everyone is here for the holidays.

@Ali – yep, something is generally better than nothing. We do what we can. Good luck with the tracking!

Keep saying/writing it please, maybe it’ll stick into my actions instead of just my brain😅

@Gillian – plus, singing the same song many years in a row means that you’re not desperately trying to learn a new piece right after Christmas, and when a lot of people might have been gone for the previous rehearsal…

I bet our two churches weren’t the only ones either. Some pieces are just…iconic.
