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?
