Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[Martin Tell]

A good reminder, but I am concerned that those who emphasize the penitential aspect come across as more Scrooge than St. Nicholas.

So let us, on this eve of the Feast of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, remember that now is the time to joyfully prepare for the coming of our Lord. Let us put on the Armor of Light. And let us contemplate the wonder and Mystery of the Incarnation.

We can do all that with or without a few lights and songs.

I always thought Eleanor Farjeon was Church of England, though obviously of the "high" persuasion -- but it turns out she was Catholic.

Learn something every day.

[Huber]

Not to sound trite, but we need a good Advent greeting to reply when someone wishes us Happy Holidays.

"Happy Advent" does not seem to capture the essence of preparation. Perhaps "Holy Advent"?
