Who new? Advent is a season observed in most Christian denominations as a time of waiting and preparation for both the celebration of Jesus's birth at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, often referred to as Advent Sunday. Advent is the beginning of the liturgical year in Western Christianity. The second coming? So it has to go on year around. What is the point the day of His return no man knows. Only the Father knows. He follows a calendar I guess and is tearing off each days page and thinking about the joke of the day.
