11.29: First Sunday of Advent: A Faith in Jesus, the Reason for the Season

<p>In the grocery store today, I was looking for &nbsp;some Nativity decals for my window. I went down both aisles of Christmas &nbsp;decorations and there was not one Nativity anything to be found! There &nbsp;were plenty of Santas, reindeer, snowmen, tinsel, all sorts of &nbsp;decorations, wrapping paper, etc. However, there wasn’t a single item &nbsp;depicting the reason for the season — the birth of Jesus Christ!</p> <p>Having no kids, I stopped celebrating Christmas some time ago. I gave &nbsp;my little table-top tree away along with all the decorations I’d &nbsp;collected over the years. The only thing I have is a small manger scene. &nbsp;I’ll get a poinsettia and little rosemary tree-shaped plant and put a &nbsp;red bow on it. That’s it.</p> <h2><strong>It’s not in the Bible.
