the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it...Make yourself an Advent wreath...
Get three purple candles and one pink one. The colours are that of the vestments (week three of Advent is pink as a celebration; the other three are purple to remind us of the penance and sorrow in the life of waiting for heaven...or waiting for the kid to be born.)
I first read of the custom in Maria Von Trapp's story of the Trapp Family singers.
Each night, you light one candle and read a short passage from the gospel or another book to remind yourself of the real meaning of Christmas.
