Being an Army Brat and most of the time going to Protestant service at chapel on post I grew up on and off with celebrating Advent Season. To me it's a special time to make me stop and remember the real meaning for the season. I don't do an Advent Wreath at home but we do advent calendars and we read an advent book to the kids. It's a reminder to all of us that it isn't really about Santa Claus that we are celebrating Jesus' birth.
I think there is plenty of room for all kinds of traditions this time of year.
My DH is outside building a shelf for all my nativities. I've started collecting different ones from all over the world. I can't wait to start decorating the house.
