@hijabicatgirl honestly i think the vibe is totally different in a liturgical denomination. advent is a mini lent of sorts (unless youre Orthodox in which case it is the same length as lent). it is a pentinental season awaiting the second coming that culminates in a celebration of God bridging the gap between the uncreated and the fallen created.
God loves all cultures. What tools we use to celebrate on that day are acceptable unless they are used irreverently or teach bad theology. We are not a people of law of letter. our law is love itself.
that being said i am also planning on avoiding christmas stuff until it is actually Christmas. committing to the advent thing
