Now, this may seem like a silly question to a US Citizen, raised in a Christian home, the grandaughter of a Methodist pastor.
But no, I have no clue what advent truly is.
While roaming the internet in search of answers, here are the interesting things I've found:
Advent seems to be kinda like the Christian season of Lent... which, we never celebtrated that either, so no help there LOL
It seems that Advent is just the four weeks before Christmas, and is kind of a time of preparing yourself for the celebration of Christ's birth.
Some families seem to light a candle on an advent wreath each night of the advent season. Isn't that a fire hazard? Others have an advent calander, where you can see different things each day of the season.
So, my question to you, my devoted bloggers, is what is Advent to YOU? Do you celebrate it? If so, how?
