Do you observe the season of Advent?

This year I am at a Church that structures the Sunday sermon around the specific meaning of each Sunday in Advent. And this year I am receiving a daily e-mail devotional for the season of Advent. I am a little disappointed because the new church I am attending does not light the candles, so next year I will be purchasing my own and creating my own tradition and find a good book/devotional to follow along with.
