Advent is a blessed season full of warmth, hope and joy. When you wish others a Happy Advent, you share your love for the Lord and Jesus Christ, the Savior.

Steps
“I wish you many blessings and good times! A very Happy First Advent Sunday to you.”

“Let us gather together and worship the Lord this Advent Season! We are all surrounded by his light.”

“God sent us his Only Begotten Son! May we hold his love for humanity in our hearts this Second Sunday of Advent.”

Realize the sacrifice Jesus made for you and open your hearts to him. Since he went to the cross to release us from our sins, focus on how much our Savior adores all people and how much he deserves our love. [2] X Research source
"The Lord looks down on us all. May your home and heart be filled with warmth and peace. Wishing you a joyful Advent!”

"Remember that the Advent Wreath has no beginning and no end, just like Christ’s eternal love for us!”

Point out that the Advent Wreath is so much more than a decoration. Tell your friends that its circle represents the Lord’s infinite power and eternal presence, while the evergreens the wreath is made of symbolize that God will always live on and love us. [3] X Research source
“For Advent, let’s light a rose candle and reflect on Luke 2:7-15: ‘the angels sang a message of joy.’"

Remind followers that a pink candle stands for joy. The “Shepherd’s Candle” is the third candle lit for Advent. When you bring up the symbolism of candles and a passage from Scripture that focuses on how the angels celebrated the Lord, you’ll invite your friends to express happiness for God’s generosity.

“It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s time for carols, hymns, and singing our praise for the Lord! Happy Advent!”
“Christmas is nearly here! Bring out the beautiful decorations, the delicious feasts, and the lovingly wrapped presents!"
"On the final day of Advent, let’s remember the meaning of Christmas—to celebrate our Savior, Jesus. He is the One!”

As Advent draws to a close, make sure to focus on Christ. Since the last day of the Advent season is Christmas Eve, come together with followers and rejoice over what will unfold the next day—Christmas. On December 25th, you’ll all honor the birth of Jesus.
