Let the Advent Season begin

Forget the huge sales, the Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day trends… this is what kicks the Advent season off for me…

Trombone Shorty and other musicians from New Orleans perform O’ Holy Night on Studio 60:

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

What is the official start of the Advent Season for you?
