Hi Kevin,
Love the Advent theme for your posts. Would love to know what are the Advent traditions in your house? Do you have a wreath?
Here is mine from last year, didn’t get around to do one this year yet, but may be this post will get me off my butt 
As it is the first week of Advent, only one candle is lit.
Now from your link I learn, that Apama helps us make the most of real-time data insights with streaming analytics.
Can you do a Twitter or Instagram query of all the posts that have the word advent and or wreath in it and plot out how many candles are lit? Would be so cool to see how it goes up over time when we are getting closer to Christmas day.
I would be super pleasantly surprised if that is possible. Crossing fingers, Mark.
