Please share what you are doing during this season to make Advent and Christmas more meaningful.
i really like the ‘not decorating until Christmas eve’ thing. i’m soo stealing it.For the family…I have a few Advent/Christmas prayer books in a bread basket on the dining table. There is also a simple and small advent wreath. The nativity is placed out and I try to refrain from all decorations until Christmas Eve.
As for myself…I use the short daylight and long dark hours of December to help me reflect on the waiting…the waiting and the magnificence of He who loved us so much He came into this darkness…this inhospitable darkness.
When Christmas arrives the house will be brightened and enlivened to reflect Christ’s entrance into this world.
Throughout the Advent and Christmas season I will look for opportunities to give of myself to others in ways Jesus asks us to.
