How Does the Game of Spoons Relate to the Advent Season?

In both the season of advent and the spoons game, the number four is significant.
The season of advent lasts for four Sundays.
In "spoons," a player must have four of a kind in order to get a spoon and continue on to the next
round.
In both events, it is easy to lose sight of the greater purpose.
Advent means "coming" which is signifying the birth of Jesus and his return.
In the game of spoons, people are so focused on getting a spoon that they don't bother actually
looking for four of a kind.
During advent, people seem to care less about celebrating Jesus than they do about getting gifts.
In this way, they are both similar because people tend to lose sight of what is really important.
___

In the game of spoons you have 4 cards,
and there are 4 weeks in Advent.
___
I think the game of spoons relates to Advent because of all the unnecessary chaos.
In this time of year, people are frantic and dodge what it is really supposed to be about.
It was a lot like the chaotic spoons game we played.
People were yelling and there was a bit of cheating.
Most of all, everyone is not focusing on the real reason we are doing it, to have fun.
___

I think that spoons is like Advent because the
game moves really fast and it makes me think of
all the rushing around that happens before Christmas.
If you want to win at spoons you need to not let yourself
get distracted.
Its kind of the same with Christmas-its not about all
of the "stuff" it is about waiting
for Jesus to be born.

___
Well there are 4 weeks in advent and 4 cards in the game.
The four weeks of advent are Hope, Preparation, Joy and love.
We “hope to get four of a kind”.
We “wait our turn to pass card”.
We have “ joy playing” and
We “ love being with our friends”.
___
I think that Advent is like the game spoons because
there are four weeks in Advent and you
need to get 4 cards in spoons.
Just like the time before Christmas, spoons moves really fast and you
have to work hard to make sure you stay focused on the prize
(Jesus birthday and winning the game)
___

The game of spoons and the season of Advent are very alike.
For one, there are four weeks in Advent and one must find
a four of a kind in order to pick up a spoon.
Also, they are alike because everyone is anxiously
waiting for the four of a kind, just like we are anxiously
waiting for Jesus' birth.
__
In the game of spoons, the object of the game
is to not be left without a spoon.
During the season of Advent,
the object is to not be left without the spirit of what
Christmas is all about.
___
In the game of spoons, players get all caught up
with trying to get 4 of a kind and loose sight of
what is happening with the spoons.
During the season of Advent, we sometimes get
all caught up with the stress of buying gifts and
decorating and cards, etc., and we loose sight of
what Christmas is all about.
___
I would compare the game of spoons to the season of Advent
because in both the game and the season you have to be
aware of what is going on around you and be ready to act,
whether that is grabbing a spoon or doing charity work or
going to Penance for your faith.
___

The game of spoons could be compared to the season
of Advent through how as there are less
and less spoons in the game the closer you are to winning.
This is comparable to how as the candles on an Advent Wreath
burn lower and lower the closer
you are to Christmas.
___

I would compare the game of spoons to the season of
Advent because, as you continue to play the game of spoons,
there are less and less spoons as you are getting closer to winning.
In addition, during advent as you light the candles every
night the size of them get smaller and smaller, as you are
closer to the birth of Jesus.
In both events, you can see how you proceed along the journey of winning,
and celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Overalll, I think the game of spoons and the season
of Advent are very similar.
___

I can compare the game of spoons to the season of Advent
because as Advent goes on I tend to
see less people at mass even though it is the most important time of the year.
___

I would compare the game of spoons to advent because
in the season of advent many people
go to mass and as time passes less and less people go to
mass and in the game of spoons and
the game goes on people are eliminated.
___

The game of spoons is related to the season of advent
because in spoons we all get prepared to
take a spoon, just like we prepare for the coming of Jesus.
When we win, we tend to celebrate, just like how we
celebrate the birth of Jesus with Christmas

___
The number four represents, in addition to the four weeks
of Advent, the four seasons
and the four cardinal virtues and 4 cards in spoons
___
During Advent, there are 4 Sundays leading to Christmas,
and in the game spoons,
you have 4 cards. In the game of spoons, the 4 cards
represent the 4 Sundays and the
spoon represents Christmas Day.
___

The Spoons game is compared to Advent because with
each less person and spoon
represents one less day until Christnas, and the
winner represents Christmas.
___
The game of spoons is similar to advent because
during Advent we are waiting for
Jesus to be born.
In the game of spoons, the players wait to get the
cards that they need in order to win.
___
Advent is a time when we come together in preparation of Jesus birth.
The advent wreath is a circle. In Spoons
players come together in a circle to play the game.
In spoons it is all about staying alive and advent
celebrates the anticipation
of the birth of Jesus
___

To compare the season of advent to spoons is difficult.
I would say because there is four
advent candles and you have to get a match of 4 cards
relating to the advent candles.
The spoon probably represents the one candle that is another color.
___
I would compare this game to the season of Advent
because the game was about joining
together and taking part in the game, just like how
the season of Advent is about joining in
and staying a participant.
___
The four cards given to you and that you play with
throughout the game
represents the four Sundays of the Advent season.
___
The spoons could be like the 40 days of advent
___
I would compare the game of spoons to the season of advent
because the spoons resemble the days of advent and every time
someone gets out of the game, that resembles the days passing.
For example, every person is a day, and when they don't get a spoon,
the day is over, so you have one less day of Advent.
___
I think the game of spoons os like the season of advent because in the game
we tried to get a pair of four cards.
it was like we were preparing to grab a spoon.
I think that in the season of advent we must prepare for christmas.
If we don not prepare we will not fully understand what christmas is about
and if we don't prepare soon enough we will not fully understand
before the christmas and advent season is over just like how the spoons are taken.
