There are lots of viruses around during these long days of winter, expressing themselves as colds and flus. An anonymous writer has written about Advent but interestingly referring to it as a virus! Here it goes..

Be careful of the Advent Virus. It is very prevalent in the run up to Christmas. Be alert for its symptoms such as hope, peace, joy and love. So many could be exposed to this virus and if the conditions are right it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. Some of its signs and symptoms could be the following: an unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment, a loss of interest in judging other people, a loss in the ability to worry which can often be a serious symptom. One will notice frequent episodes of appreciation with contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature. Other signs are frequent attacks of smiling and an increasing tendency to let things happen rather than frustratingly trying to make them happen. There is an increased susceptibility to the love extended by others, as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
