The Season of Advent

This Sunday, 27 November, marks the beginning of a new year in the Christian Calendar. Happy New Year!

Advent is the time we, Christians, observe as we prepare for the coming of Christmas.

For the society that we have put around us, Advent is the time to spend as much money as you can on things that we do not really need anyway.

The crusade that I would like to go on for the next little while is to remind EVERYONE that Christmas BEGINS on the evening of the 24th of December and continues for 12 days afterward. Christmas does not end when the stores close on the 24th and you have not found an "appropriate" gift for Uncle Sirus.

End of Sermon.
