Advent is a season of weariness. Advent is a time of stress. Advent is a time that takes a toll on everybody! Whether we are the ones running about trying to stretch a budget that has no more elasticity in it, or whether we are the ones trying to figure out how to buy something new, fresh and novel for that person who seems to have everything, Advent is that time of the year where we can almost feel the weariness that hovers in the air.
