Catholics celebrating Advent


Every Advent I daydream about how blessed our family is during the Advent season.  Through the liturgical year we celebrate the bible, martyrs, Mary, days of obligation, adoration, sacraments, traditions, and our Church's season.  When Advent comes I am as excited as a child.  
We "deck our halls," listen to Christmas music, celebrate masses that speak of Mary and angels.  We give to those in need and our loved ones; to those who have touched our lives.  We bake cookies, send greetings, and prepare for Jesus' very special day. We feel cheerful, and wish strangers "Merry Christmas."  To celebrate and anticipate the Lord Jesus' birth is a gift to all Christians, from all Christians.
