Top of the Heap
Progressive rock or prog rock is a broad genre of rock music mostly developed in the UK from the mid to late 1960s and peaking in the early to mid 1970s. It saw the emergence of psychedelic bands that favored instrumentation and compositional techniques associated with jazz, folk, or classical music. Lyrics were more poetic and the music was created more for listening than dancing.

The Advent Wreath
During this period before Christmas we must not forget that there is so much more to this holiday than shopping, decorating, visiting and celebrating. As such Advent is that time period beginning four Sundays before Christmas and for certain Christians it is a season of prayer and fasting and it is also the coming of Christ at the Incarnation. In a lot of households you will find the tradition of lighting the Advent wreath. The wreath is formed like a crown from evergreen branches and represents eternity. It can be store bought or if you have the possibility to get evergreen branches you can make it yourself.
