Happy ADVENT
Maybe I'm just too much of a stickler, but I was a little annoyed today at church when we were instructed to greet one another with the words "Merry Christmas." Does that seem a little silly to anyone else? It's December 4th! The only people I'm wishing a Merry Christmas now are those I'm not planning to see until after Christmas. I guess that means I don't need to go back to church there next week. Having already wished them a merry Christmas, perhaps I should be on my way. Alas, I was stubborn enough not to do it actually. I defiantly wished those seated around me a happy advent instead. I still may cut out next week though. We'll see...

You are right it is far too early to be wishing people Merry Christmas unless you are not going to be seeing them again. We had a wonderful service yesterday. It was so wonderful I almost cried. It was very moving with the music and the decorations and ofcourse the subject matter.
Oh, to go to a church like that! It's been so long since I've felt that kind of a connection in church. I usually come out frustrated at best or just plain angry at worst.
