The best place to start for Advent/Christmas resources is with Richard
and Charlene Fairchild's award-winning "A Holy Christmas". This is a
fine resource which lists links to everything from Advent Calendars to
New Years Resolutions, as well as the Fairchilds' own excellent
resources. You'll fine "A Holy Christmas" at:
