1. secular songs to accompany dancing during communal celebrations

2. a trough or box used to hold food for stable animals

3. the four week period preceding Christmas which serves as a time of reflection in preparation for the celebration of the Nativity (from the Latin adventus 'coming')

5. an aromatic resin from the Boswellia Thurifera tree and used in incense, perfume and embalming fluids. One of the gifts presented to Jesus by the Wise Men

Well, My family never waits for that, it's for the whole year, I hear all the grievances, big and small both real and imaginary every day, they like to keep short accounts.
