Well, they waited until after All Saints and All Souls, but the commercialism of Our Lord's birth has begun.
I saw my first Christmas commercial today.
And Advent hasn't even started yet.
Good things come to those who wait . . .
Enjoy Ordinary Time a little longer.
LoL agreed... but I get people saying that to me too when I do start putting up stuff at Advent. In the Maronite Catholic Church Advent starts 2 weeks earlier than yalls does! No ordinary time either, but that's beside the point lol.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Very interesting. Do you have an Advent wreath with two additional candles?
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing!
Sorry forgot your blog wont email replies to me lol. No I don't... The Advent Wreath is a Roman custom not a Maronite one.. But its one I grew up with (was raised Roman) and I love. So I do have an Advent Wreath, but we can't use it correctly. My husband & I have talked about having one made... will have to adjust everything a bit lol. Would be a nice family trad though.
