Advent: A Real Christmas

Do you want to celebrate a “real Christmas” this year? If so, what might you have in mind? Perhaps you’re thinking of trimming a freshly cut tree or finding the perfect presents or spending the holidays in peace and quiet with extended family. “Then it will be a real Christmas!” you say to yourself. Certainly, all those are wonderful things. However, none of them are what makes Christmas real. The sad truth is Christmas is the most beloved holiday of so many, yet so few know what Christmas is really about.
If you want a real Christmas, then you need to observe Advent. Advent is Latin for “coming.” For the four Sundays of December we’ll observe the connection between the first time the Son of God came into our world as our humble Savior and the second time he will come as our glorious Judge. Advent prepares us, so that we might soon celebrate a real Christmas, one that is not crowded or commercial, but spiritual of the heart.
