0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to a very special episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs
0:06.8	and you may be thinking Annie, what are you doing in my podcast feed on a Sunday? Well,
0:11.7	this is no ordinary Sunday. This is the first Sunday of Advent. And this week we are kicking
0:16.9	off our Advent series. I'm so happy to be here with you today. Today's episode is an
0:22.0	introduction to the series, kind of giving you more of the why behind it. And then tomorrow
0:27.2	we really begin. I'm so ready and I'm so excited to invite you into this season and this
0:32.1	journey together. Welcome to the Advent series. Today is called Let There Be Light.
0:37.6	Happy Advent friends. It starts today. I am so excited about this, but I'm going to

1:32.1	techniques for being alone that much and that long was to make my environment as cozy
1:38.8	as possible. And candles were a big part of that. And I like them then for a very reasonable
1:45.6	and thoughtful reason because I knew I wouldn't leave them burning when I left the house
1:52.0	because I never left the house. But other than that one season of my life, I really just
1:59.1	have not enjoyed candles. It's just the idea of having fire wide open in your home. Yeah,
2:05.7	I don't know. I just don't like it. Like even last week, how many times have you left
2:11.6	your house and been like, did I leave my strainer on? Did I leave my curling iron on?
