It is true. I get really excited for Advent. Way more excited than for Christmas itself. There is such joy in the anticipation AND there are so many ways to get ready. I am learning that my spiritual journey is advanced by the liturgical "chunks" that come my way. The liturgical seasons are great and even in Ordinary Time, God gives me themes like saints -- sometimes specific ones like St. Teresa of Avila -- or scripture themes or songs or some other niche. It is great!
Other than putting the angels away until closer to Christmas...this is our start. With the little guy beginning to get mobile, this space is unfortunately barricaded by the ottoman most of the time. It is still a wonderful place to gather and sing "Come, O Come, Emmanuel"
