How Do You Observe Advent? (Starts Nov. 30th This Year!)

Advent is coming up at the end of this month. If you observe this season of waiting and anticipation for Christmas, what are some ways you celebrate?

I use an Advent wreath with the four candles to light for each week. I love the symbolism of each candle.

First candle=Hope
Second candle=Peace
Third candle=Joy
Fourth candle=Love

I also like to use an Advent calendar with my little ones. It really helps to build anticipation and excitement for Christmas.

Additionally, I like reading an Advent devotional.

Lastly, I find it meaningful to attend Advent church services for the four Sundays. I love singing Advent songs like “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” and “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

What do your Advent observances look like?
