It was the annual Festival of Trees tonight. A fundraiser for the Chamber of Commerce and another worthy cause.
Lots of Christmas items are auctioned off. There were some really cute items and some that went for way too much, for what they were worth. But, it was a festive event, as usual.
I wonder about whether we should hold festive gatherings during Advent. Our culture has definitely lost the reason and purpose of Advent as a penitential time to prepare for the coming of the Lord.
Have mercy on me, my Lord and God for my failure to adequately prepare for your coming.
Please help me to re-focus and to do better loving you.
