60 Days

Glatt - actually, growing up Catholic we did follow that schedule in our religious life.

Advent at school and at church every Sunday were given over to quiet reflection, at least as far as they could rein in excited kids. We lit the advent candles every week at both church and school (I still know most of the verse to "Light the Advent Candle") and although we opened an advent calendar, they were full of bible verses and pictures of the story of the Nativity - not Pwer Rangers and Barbie and chocolates.

But in our secular life, we laid by food for the feast. Christianity is a relative newcomer in the life of men after all.
