Q from Japanese Y:
”We got great info on Advent last year. We may have asked the following question? How well does the Average Joe know of Advent? Thanks for your reply when you get a chance.” S 051108

A from American L:
“I think a lot of people know advent is right before Christmas, but most don't know more than that.” 051109

A from American O:
“I think Advent is pretty well known. I think adults know it better than children, but it is pretty popular. We observed it in our church growing up, and I have seen it in other churches. My wife and I just started going to a church nearby, and I don't know yet whether they will observe it.

People who don't attend church might not know of it. But I think most people who have attended church at one time or other have heard of it.” O 051114
