Let's not rush...celebrate the waiting of Advent

from Faith and Family...

Every year, I seem to fight a losing battle with the culture, my kids, and myself in an attempt to observe Advent properly. Too often, what’s meant to be a time of waiting and preparing for Christmas turns into a premature celebration of Christmas—complete with parties, presents, Santa, and Rudolph.

I hate to be the grinch that says no to parties, so I try to keep a positive focus through Advent. One way to do that is through music, I have found. Advent has a music all its own.

I like this version of O Come, O Come Emmannuel by Enya, for example. If you prefer a more classical version, this one is very nice.
