Greetings from the Isle of Skye in Scotland! I made this simple video you might enjoy. The scenery is stunning, even if the actor is a curmudgeon.
The video is short, just a minute and a half, but between gusts of wind I mention the 400-year ban on Christmas in Scotland. It was the result of the reformers wanting to ban non-biblical traditions, many of which that thought were too Popish (a derogatory way of saying too Catholic). Christmas wasn’t officially recognized until 1958. Crazy.
Well, as the author of an Advent devotion book, I had to bring it up in the video.
Oh, and of course you can get the book on Amazon.
And now for the video:
Thanks to Jenna Hay, our guide, for holding the script, to Steve Stong, a long time friend, for doing the camera work, and to Greg Muncy for the last minute audio edits.
