Welcome to This Week in Observance, where every week has its stories. I’m Mike, and it’s December 15th—today we’re baking, reflecting, raising a glass, and remembering to drive safe. Let’s dig in.
Episode 50 — can you believe it? Starting today, we’re switching things up: instead of daily observances, we’ll be looking at them week by week. That means more stories, more depth, and a smoother rhythm for all of us, oh and a slight name change: This Day In Observance shifts to This Week In Observance. Look for new episodes each Monday morning!
The blog’s still your go-to spot for show notes, jingles, and ways to connect — thisdayinobservance.blog.
And with this new format, I’ve got room to cook up another project behind the scenes. It’s early days, but I’ll be sharing more soon. For now, let’s dive into the observances for December 15th through 21st.
