Advent is the beginning of the Christian year. It consists of the four weeks prior to Christmas and the purpose is preparing yourself for the coming of Christ (his birth).

Yes Advent is the 4 weeks time that leads up to Christmas. It is a time to prepare and make way the path of the Lord in your heart. Lots of soul searching is done (or is supposed to be done) and it is a time of reflection and lamentation because we are so evil and what can save us? Then HE comes into the world. I can just imagine the entire world went silent when he was born. Everything stopped for just a second. Every creature somehow knew that their creator was with them. Oh Holy Night!!

The divine appearance of each of the Messengers of the One True God is an advent.

Advent is getting ready for Christ's birth.
Advent (from the Latin Adventus, sc. Redemptoris, " the coming of the Saviour ") is a holy season of the Christian church, the period of preparation for the celebration of the nativity or Christmas. It is the beginning of the Christian year.

Midge has the spirit of the reason and Lady Christmas has the religious part of praying. Each should get 5 points.
I came close to cutting and pasting this 1st site, but better for you to click and look at it then me forcing something on you. The Vatican site is just for purely R.Catholic Q&A you have.
