    About this ebook

    Advent is a special season for many Christians around the world and marks a time of anticipation leading up to the celebration of our Savior's birth. Traditions and variations abound when it comes to celebrating this momentous occasion. This little booklet is not meant to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject. Rather, it is a very simple introduction meant to encourage participants to incorporate Advent into their other seasonal celebrations. Use it as a jumping-off place to delve further into this rich tradition.

    Each day's reading has a devotional, scripture, prayer, and a suggested Christmas carol.
