Among all the talk in the news of whether or not Mormons are Christians, I did some thinking on the subject. It certainly isn't hard to imagine why other Christian faiths exclude Mormons from the Christian label. Among the several reasons, it occurred to me that in 30 years, I've never celebrated Advent, Epiphany, Shrove Tuesday, or any of the other traditional holidays.
That's about to change. Starting with Advent this year, I am going to celebrate as many of the traditional holidays as I can. I invite you to join me, especially if you've never experienced them yourself.
Advent starts on November 27th this year. Here are some resources on how to celebrate. If you happen to be a seasoned Advent celebrator, please share tips and advice. I'm sure I won't quite get it right the first time.
