I like the way Fr Robert says for a Christian, our whole life is advent - waiting for Christ. I also am so glad Fr Robert has said about Advent is a time to slow down. I do not attend any parties, or carol service during the period of advent. My first carol service will be on 24 Dec night at church, which is part of my religious celebration of Jesus' birthday. Fr, thanks for reminding me I should continue to wait for Christ even after the season of advent in prayer and being with the Lord.
Ah, but Father...I should think that sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, there's no harm in occasionally listening to Christmas music and seeing Christmas shows. Just so long as one doesn't saturate oneself in it so that one becomes SICK OF IT by Christmas Day! LOL
