The definitions of Advent include:
- A coming into place or view
- Most frequently associated with the coming of Christ into the world, celebrated during the four Sundays before Christmas.
The Advent being marked in our house is celebrating the coming of a new president. This is not intended to equate, in any way, the president-elect or any president with Christ, or any religious figure. We strongly support the separation of church and state.
Our 2021 countdown has begun.
Back to a hope for sanity. I had written back to reality, but realized that, for me, the last four years have been a reality check. I don’t think my rather idealistic outlook has been so tested since the early 70s when I found out some of my friends parents were racist. And that not everyone understood that wanton littering was bad.
On Day 19 and counting.
Happy New Year

I agree. The past four years have been a reality check for me also. I thought most people were kinder, smarter and more logical/reasonable than they actually are.
