The 37 years of Catholic Church I attended obfuscated the message.
The fear you are describing is the fear of falling back into my sinful life when I use to party at Christmas time.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ought to set one free from the law of sin and of death. One who is in Christ need never fear days nor run from celebrating Christ's advent. If 37 years in the Catholic Church failed to teach the preciousness of Christian freedom then that is a tragedy. The joy of Christ's advent, the wonder of his presence first in body and then through the Spirit ought to set one free. I invite all who read these words to come, come to the water of life and drink of it freely. The gospel is still preached and Christ is still lifted up in the Church, if you have strayed away do not be afraid to come home. The Father is looking for such people, on the road, and when they are seen approaching no greater feast and no greater celebration can be had on this Earth this side of the second advent - which we celebrate around Christmas season.
