Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Grace Lace podcast.

I'm Eve Stipes, and typically I'm sitting down for a conversation with my co-host, Ruth Joe Simons.

But today, you get to hear from the entire Grace Lace team.

These are the women that we get to do life with on a regular basis,

and we're so grateful they

agreed to another team episode where you get to know them and hear their wisdom as they share

from a variety of ages, life stages, and experiences.

Today they're talking about their thoughts for what it looks like to keep an Advent heart

posture as we head into the new year.

And I'm praying that their

conversation encourages you in the middle of this strange week between Christmas and New Year's.

Enjoy. Okay, another team episode. I am so pumped for us to be together. Just in case you didn't know, we're recording this episode,

particularly early in the morning for some of our friends on the West Coast and in Mountain Time.

So we're going to kick it off with just a little introduction of who you're going to hear from today.

And my questions are, who are you?

Who do you live with? Where do you live? And what do you do for

Christmas? What do you do for Christmas? What do you do for Grace Laced? And if you feel like it,

your favorite Christmas tradition. That's a lot of questions though. So do your best. I'm going to start

with Anna. All righty. I'm my brain's like in Thanksgiving mode. So I'm going to start with Anna.

All righty.

My brain's like in Thanksgiving mode, so I'm like Christmas, Christmas.

Okay.
