Advent: Our Hope is Not in This World

Advent: Our Hope is Not in This World: In my experience, paring down the material side of Advent and Christmas greatly deepens the spiritual dimensions.

In paring back, and focusing on Christ in Advent, I am more prepared for the realities offered in the mystery of Christmas.
