We don't often focus on the Liturgical Calendar (the year that the Church follows) very often here at Checkpoint. But I am sure never to bypass my favorite holiday: Advent. Typically conflated with the Christmas season, Advent is a time of preparation leading up to the eventual arrival of the infant Christ in the opening text of the gospels. We spend four Sundays lighting candles, studying the verses leading up to the birth narrative, and trying our darnedest to postpone singing out-of-season carols.
