Keeping the "holy" in Advent

It's so easy to forget what is important during this busy and stressful holiday season.   No matter your faith tradition, remember that the season of Advent is a time when we wait with anticipation for a gift from God.  

So between the shopping trips and the visits to Santa, take time to keep the "holy" in Advent, as suggested in the quote below:

Advent Day 4: "So how about this: take some time right now, here at the beginning of Advent, and add some holy something to your to-do list. A volunteer gig. A sizable donation to a good charity. A visit to your ailing aunt. It won't save the world, but it'll be a start."
