As we sneak up on December 6th I just wanted to pop a little note in to remind folks that our Advent Festival is coming up. At Fall Fest it seemed that the craft table stayed consistently busy, so Advent Fest will be all crafts. After all, if some crafts are fun, lots of crafts will be lots of fun.
But first let me address the question that I have heard quite a bit this year.
"What is Advent?"
For this one I will turn really quick to Wikipedia
"Advent: (from the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming") is a season of the Christian church, the period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus; in other words, the period immediately before Christmas. The progression of the season may be marked with an Advent calendar, a practice introduced by German Lutherans."
Ever notice that the secular world wants to make Christmas hurry up and get here, isn't that why they put out the Christmas decoration in October? Well, Advent says hold on there, lets think about this for a moment. I hope you spend some time with us and join us for our Advent preparations.
