dreamflowerI mentioned that I'm on the Advent Committee for my church this year, and I am working on a devotional booklet for the season. I have yet to write my own entry for the booklet--and I am curious about how other folks get themselves into the proper spirit for the holiday.

For those who are curious about my own ways of getting in the Christmas mood, I do most of the things I mentioned in the poll. One thing I do every year, for the last 39 years is read How Far to Bethlehem? by Norah Lofts. It really makes me think about the reason behind Christmas, and what it might be like to have lived back then and be caught up in those amazing events.
