Holiday culture wars and consumerism bring more chaos than joy to the world. But there’s hope. The countercultural season of Advent offers a different way to prepare for Christmas. Tish Harrison Warren, former New York Times columnist and author, talks with Amy Julia Becker about:
- How the practices of Advent disarm the culture wars
- Ways that Advent helps us grieve and hope
- Why waiting to celebrate Christmas matters
- PLUS why Tish chose to leave the New York Times
