"As Pilgrims of Hope, we walk with Christ through His suffering and death on the Cross, to a profound hope in the resurrection and witnesses to the new life that is offered to us.”

For all you Catholics out there, this is the shortest Advent season we can possibly have. It’s only three weeks long because the Fourth Sunday of Advent is December 24th. But you don’t get a twofer. There’s an obligation for Sunday and an obligation for Christmas.
This can be fulfilled In a number of ways.
1) Saturday evening AND Sunday evening, Midnight, or Monday during the day.
2) Sunday morning AND Sunday evening, at night (or Midnight Mass), or Monday during the day.
3) Sunday evening or any night Mass before Midnight AND any Midnight Mass or Monday Mass.
(Yes, in fact, you can go to two Christmas Masses—one on Sunday evening and on Monday. Eager beavers can ask why this is.).
See the attached chart.
“Tradition is not the transmission of things or words, a collection of dead things. Tradition is the living river that links us to the origins, the living river in which the origins are ever present, the great river that leads us to the gates of eternity.”
—Pope Benedict XVI
