Definitely Advent! Like the calender. It used to be taken really seriously-read Patrick Kavanagh's poem 'Advent' for further information!

There is no fasting before Christmas. I think you mean Lent,Easter which is in either March or April depending on the papal calender. It is fasting for 40 days. Christmas is the birth of Christ and Easter is when he dies and is resurrected on the third day (Easter Sunday).

There is no such thing. Lent follows Christmas. Advent is a time of light.
