Advent is a season of promise. The Christmas shopping season, which coincides with Advent, is also filled with promises--spoken or unspoken promises of how consumer purchases will fulfill our dreams. What can we learn by comparing the promises of these two overlapping seasons? What makes Advent profoundly more  promising than consumerisms appeals to our hopes and dreams?
