[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advent is a “little Lent”. It is a mournful time in which we travel in a spiritual sense with the Holy Family as they search for a place to stay. The joyful feast of Christmas does not begin until Christmas Eve or Day depending on the tradition. [b]Advent should not be a “countdown” to Christmas, but rather a time of spiritual preparation for receiving Christ.[/b] [/quote] This may be the church perception of advent, but Christians observe it or not in different ways and if a Jewish kid wants to observe it too, in her own way why not?[/quote] Because the parents may not want her to? To the extend Judaism has survived in America, its because parents were able to say "no" when they needed to. [/quote]
