A Christmas Thought

So, I'm posting this from my fancy ass cell phone, but this occurred to me on the way to Christmas dinner at my aunts. If Advent is about waiting in anticipation for something unforeseeable (see: Christ as Monstrous), what kind of posture were we supposed to be taking exactly? Advent seen this way is implicitly dialectical, but can perhaps only be known as such from the vantage of Christmas day.
No wonder we're so ambivalent about this season.
