Yes, joy is in the air. You’d expect the Sunday Gospel to be John the Baptist announcing the coming of the Lord, or maybe even the Angel appearing to Mary. Those are readings I think of when I think of Christmas. But remember, we are not in Christmas. We are in advent and Advent is a little different. It’s more like pregnancy. Expecting a baby is super joyful. But, it is also a time of preparation. And, to be quite frank, I am told it can be more than a little uncomfortable at times.
