This year, Advent starts on Sunday 3 December, and as always it will encompass four weeks. Each week is usually dedicated to a specific theme represented by the lighting of candles on an Advent wreath. The themes typically include hope, peace, joy and love.
I encourage you this advent season, not to be caught up in the busyness of Christmas that our lives seem to expect of us these days, but instead, to remain focused on Jesus, who is the reason we celebrate Christmas.
