Remember, Advent is all about anticipation. It is about recognizing our need for a Savior, longing for that Savior, and joyfully welcoming that Savior.

It can be tough to recreate this anticipatory tension when the busyness of the holidays pushes us into go-mode and our days center around how many items we can cross off our to-do lists.

But creating little pockets of peace in each day can make the entire season more reverential and more meaningful.
