Advent is the season of anticipation. There is no denying this has strong ties to our religious traditions, but these are not the only place we find anticipation. Kids anticipate Santa. Families anticipate gathering and reconnecting. Stores anticipate entering the black. Celestially we anticipate longer, brighter, warmer days to come.

Many dread this time of year. Dread is the opposite of anticipation. It can be an advent of frustration, exhaustion, and pain. 

Regardless of how this season affects you, I have prepared an unconventional advent series that I believe will give you something new to anticipate.
