While Advent isn’t as solemn as Lent, this liturgical season of preparation still asks some sacrificing of those who participate. This atmosphere of sacrifice can seem at odds with all the major feast days sprinkled throughout the beginning of December, but in reality, they are wonderful markers along the path to Christmas.
Since I was very small, Advent has been my favorite season. Yes, I was excited about Christmas coming, but I also loved all the traditions and preparations our family participated in each year throughout December.
