Opus 1, Advent not Christmas
Christmas is everywhere. It has been everywhere since Halloween. What most people don't realize is that we are not really in the Christmas season. This is Advent. Originally Advent was a time of penitence, like Lent. Christmas is a shortening of Christ's Mass, celebrating the actually birth of Jesus in the Western Christian church. Orthodox churches celebrate on Epiphany, January 6, which celebrates the coming of the wise men. I know TMI. Enjoy the season.
