Mine too, since, well, I am living alone. I had my family visiting the first, so not much other than them and being ill. The second I had come home from hospital some days before, so was just tired and lazy.
Advent (from the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming" is a season of the Christian church, the period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus; in other words, the period immediately before Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday. The Eastern churches begin the liturgical year on 1 September.[1] The Eastern Christian equivalent of Advent is called the Nativity Fast but it differs both in length and observances.

@tanstaafl28: The advent calender (jule kalender)? Not quite the same, as the calender is for every day in December, while advent as a "holiday" itself is the Sundays in December, where some lights candles (one for each day of advent).
