The majority of Christians believe this is the time of Jesus' birth and celebrate it by calling it the Advent season.
Traditional Christmas Eve Advent candle readings can include passages from the Bible that focus on themes of hope, peace, joy, and love.

It is about the countdown for the birth of christ (advent calenders help with the countdown). It takes 4 sundays (24 days) and Christmas is the result f the end of Christmas.Also:It recalls the 4000 years the Jewish people awaited the Messiah.
For the lighting of the Advent candles, you can consider prayers that focus on themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. Some recommended prayers include ones that reflect on the significance of each candle and the anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ. These prayers can help set the tone for the Advent season and encourage reflection and spiritual growth.
Advent means literal "the comming to." Believers that celebrate advent are looking forward to Easter, the coming of the Lord. Some celebrate it for 40 days not counting Sundays and some only do a 7 day advent. The 40 comes from a time of testing. Forty days in the wilderness for Jesus, 40 years in the wilderness for the people of Israe, etc. If you follow a strict liturgical year on Ash Wednesday you set aside a negative behavior that helps you to prepare yourself for the Easter Time. I know of some people that don't eat red meat during this time, some young people that don't play video games, some stop alcohol, etc. Whatever you do during this time it is just a time of remembering.

John the Baptist was baptizing in obedience to God. God had commanded John to perform what's referred to as a "baptism of repentance," to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. In effect, John was "helping" God, the Jews, and Christ as well.
