Advent looks forward to the world being utterly changed in every way by the coming of Christ.
This season let's explore Christmas by focusing on carol s and what they say. Whether old or new, they point to the truth of Christmas. We are reminded that Christmas is about Christ. This may seem obvious, but increasingly the focus has become Christmas itself.
The second reminder is that Christmas should generate joy. When the bible talks about Christ's coming into the world it sounds a note of joy. To understand Christmas is to experience joy.
