December at City of Peace
"Advent – the four-week period that leads up to Christmas – is a series of events designed not to delay the celebration of Christmas, but to enhance it. It’s a kind of delayed gratification that culminates in a… satisfaction that is all the richer for the waiting."
Joan Chittister
