Songs of Advent
Themes of hope in classic Christmas carols. The holidays are full of light, warmth, and anticipation. They are also wrought with darkness, cold, and spoiled expectations. But the Christmas carols that have endured generations and centuries point us to the true meaning of Advent: the Christian understanding of Christmas. Tucked away in these lyric classics are themes that bring more than hope: they give practical help for experiencing Christmas as the gift it really is.
