One of the difficulties during the season of Advent is how Christmas seems to push in upon it, particularly the aspects of consumerism that find their way into this season. Time Magazine recently published an article about a group of Christians who are challenging American trends of consumerism during this season. Time calls this group the 'Advent Conspiracy.' The article mentions that many Christians initiate campaigns at this time of year to demand that greetings of "Merry Christmas" be given to them and others at stores. But the 'Advent Conspiracy' group of Christians criticizes these campaigns as attempts to allow consumerism to trump the true joy of Christmas.

What will you do to live Advent in expectation and hope? And then, how will you celebrate Christmas apart from consumerism?
