Carolina Catholic chats about Advent and Christmas
We deeply explore the Christian meanings behind all of the Advent and Christmas traditions. Most people don't realize that every decoration for this season has deep spiritual significance from the lights in our windows to ornaments we place on our Christmas tree and the poinsettia we give to others. Each tradition is meant to bring our focus to the greatest gift we've ever received: Jesus Christ. We will also answer this question: What can we give Jesus for Christmas? Finally, we will talk about great gift ideas for Christmas that can help us grow in our faith including wonderful books and powerful sacramentals.
