oh my sister you do not feel Christmas in the air because it is the season of Advent it is a time to wait and listen.
If you are a Christian Advent can mean that it is about the church and christ and advent was the last season to be officially added to the church calendar, in about 600 AD. It was made the first season of the church year because it begins the story of the events of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
Advent always includes four Sundays before Christmas, this year (2007) beginning on December 2, 2007. Originally, in the Eastern Church, Advent focused on the first Coming at the Nativity, the future Coming at the end of time, and the present coming, through grace, to the hearts of humans.
Thus the themes of consciousness of the coming judgment and of joyful expectation have shaped our observance of Advent for centuries. The Advent wreath candles, symbolizing the coming of the Light of the world, are to remind us of these themes. It has often been customary to have one rose-colored candle to symbolize joyful expectation.
Advent is a time of spiritual preparation, but is not as penitential a season as Lent. It is a time for calm and thoughtfulness before the hustle and bustle of preparation for Christmas.
And if you are not a Christian you can take a couple of weeks to chill out and not buy into the buying enjoy and reflect on who you are and what you want for your self and the world.

I am sitting here at work listening to Christmas music and it is snowing. Right now yes, probably not so much next week when it will be raining. I am going to put up our tree though, so maybe it will feel more like Christmas.

Yes. Because I have a 9 year old boy who is excited and a 6 month old girl who is in awe of all the Christmas lights. My kids make me in the spirit. Not in the commercialism of it all but in the beauty, wonder, and simplicity of the season.

50/50. Sometimes I am in the Christmas spirit, other times I'm not!

I get a happy feeling when my tree is lit up and all the outside Christmas lights are on.

The 1st Dec is Day 1 for me, but they are very shallow breaths for me at present.

You create your own Christmas spirit. Hang around some little kids and they will jump start the "spirit".
