Best Answer

Catholics celebrate Advent as a way of preparing for the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, or Christmas. Just as the Christmas season is an important part of the church year, the preparation period leading up to it is also. The preparation for Christmas that the Church has in mind for its members during Advent is not about buying and wrapping presents, putting up Christmas decorations, attending parties, or making travel plans. Advent prepration is to prepare one's spirit for the coming of the Christ Child, to prepare one's heart to make Him welcome when he arrives.
