Even though it will be different this year with everything going on I plan to celebrate Advent 2021 by praying a little more each day and bringing myself closer to Christ.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331525 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331534 I have never really celebrated advent because I'm not catholic, but my school does and we used to have mass every Wednesday. I try to be a better person, because Christmas is the best and I want good presents from Santa, but i also try to give up something like a food or an electronic.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331534 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331542 In the past, my family has not really done a whole lot for Advent except for lighting the candles on the Advent wreath. This year, I'm going to try and slow down to really take in the full beauty of Advent and not rush into Christmas. To celebrate Advent 2021, I am doing a couple of devotionals and also trying to pray more throughout the day and keep my heart open for Jesus. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331542 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331552 my family doesnt do anything for advent my only experience with celebrating advent is lighting the candles at school

We do go to the food bank once during advent and volunteer there. We are doing that again this year and hopefully we will start to pray more as a family this advent. We also go to church together, but this year we watch it. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331573 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331587 My previous experience with advent has been going to mass every Sunday and that Sunday night having a family dinner and lighting the candle for that week. This year my family has stopped going to mass because of Covid, but I do believe we will still have our Sunday family dinners and light the corresponding candle with the week.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331587 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/4njkftxota1e3jw01617313199/wish/1115331598 My family and I do a good job of celebrating Advent.

I plan on celebrating Advent 2020 by focusing more on the meaning of the Christmas season. I think that this is exactly what we need this year.

Our parish also gives out these little blue booklets with prayers in them that we read before lighting the candles.

I also spend much time with my family especially our immediate family during advent. However with the given circumstances many of these actions we do during advent are this year. I believe 2021 will follow the same route of limited activities. In perpetration for this I have decided to due much use what would be advent to do much self refection.
