We've all heard the word, but what does Advent really mean?

Barry, Sissy, and Isaac talk about the origination of Advent and what the season leading up to the birth of Jesus is meant for. What is the history behind the word Advent? What traditions are associated with the Advent season and the church? For people who didn't grow up recognizing Advent, why is it special to recognize it? What are the four words of Advent and their meaning?

The crew wraps up the episode by talking their favorite (and least favorite) Christmas songs. Mariah Carey, I would skip this episode.
