[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 391173, member: 3493"] I have a dumb question. My 6th grader learned the Latin word "adventium" in this week's vocabulary chapter. The derivative was advent, which I know means the beginning. My son then said that some of his classmates said they would be celebrating advent and he asked me what it is. Being Jewish and never having heard of it before, I assume it's a Christian holiday, but what is it? I told him we'd look it up but asking here seems like a better idea. The little bags that you made up are similar to what I do for my kids for Hanukah - little teeny gifts for each of the nights and then one bigger one (lately, it's been a family gift). Thanks.
