The word advent means "a coming" and refers to the four-week period during which Christians prepare for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day. Advent begins on the feast day of Saint Andrew (one of the 12 apostles of Christ) which is celebrated on the Sunday nearest November 30. Many people use special Advent calendars to keep track of the 24 days before Christmas. An Advent calendar has 24 numbered flaps concealing a colorful Christmas scene. One flap is lifted daily to uncover a holiday picture.

In addition to keeping Advent calendars, many Christians keep an Advent wreath in their homes during the holiday season. Most of these wreaths are made of evergreen or holly branches and may lie on a table or hang on a door. Four candles, one for each Sunday of Advent, are placed among the branches. On the first Sunday, the family lights one candle and joins in prayer. They repeat this ceremony on each Sunday of Advent, lighting one additional candle each time. Three of the candles are dark purple, and the fourth is pink or light purple. It remains unlit until the third Sunday, when people celebrate the beginning of the second half of Advent. A large red candle, which symbolizes Jesus, is added to the wreath on Christmas Day.

Christmas Gift A fun Christmas poetry composed by Maureen The gifts I’d leave beneath your tree, Aren’t those that you can touch or see, Not wrapped in Christmas tissue gay But gifts to bless you every day The Gift of FRIENDSHIP warm and true, Is one that I would leave for you Good health and happiness and cheer To keep you smiling through the year The Gift of PEACE that comes from God, With prayer to guide each path you trod And when your heart has lost its song. The Gift of HOPE to cheer you on These are the gifts I’d leave for you Here is an early present for you my dearest friend, it's your if you can catch it, don't despair - just try again. It's full of something wonderful, I wonder what it is, try harder now if you would see this present full of mystery! Perhaps I'll tell, perhaps I won't but it's something I've been making, it's wrapped with love from me to you, but that is all I'm saying! Thanks For Visiting

Small Pine

"Small Pine" Author Unknown Long, long ago, in a land far away lived a perfect little tree, named Small Pine. Small Pine hoped to maintain its perfect form, and be selected by the queen as her Christmas tree. Yet as the warm-hearted little tree gave shelter to birds, rabbits and deer in the forest, its branches became damaged! Fortunately the queen had a different idea of perfection. The queen, her family and all of the villagers said that Small Pine was the finest Christmas tree yet, for in looking at its drooping nibbled branches, they saw the protecting arm of their father, or the comforting lap of a mother. Some like the wise queen saw the love of Christ expressed on Earth. So, as you walk among evergreens today, you'll find along with rabbits, birds and other happy living things, many trees like Small Pine. You'll see a drooping limb which gives cover, a gap offering a warm resting place, and branches ragged from feeding hungry animals. For, as have many of us, the trees have learned that living for the sake of others makes us most beautiful in the eyes of The Lord. Thanks For Visiting
