[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate to say this, but I'm a Christian and I find your attitude a little offensive. Advent calendars are not "cultural symbols." Advent is a holy time in the Christian faith, counting down the weeks until the birth of the savior. Churches celebrate each Sunday in a special way. Sorry, but to me, this is on par with the "cultural appropriation" whining that liberals love to do.[/quote] OP, as someone who was raised Christian and is in the process of converting to Judaism, an Advent calendar is definitely more religious than say, a Christmas tree. The period of Advent is a Christian time of the weeks leading up to the birth of the savior Jesus. A Christmas tree is a pagan symbol co-opted to represent the Christmas holiday. That said, you can make your own countdown calendar! Countdown to the end of Hanukkah, or New Years, or classes for the year. [/quote]
