Beyond the baking and the shopping, Advent is the 'spiritual prep' for the Christmas celebration on December 25. This lively and comprehensive post illustrates the true meaning of Advent and how 'happiness' may or may not fit into the mix:

"So for Christians, the time leading up to Christmas is – rather, it should be – a time to thoughtfully reflect on why we are pretty stoked Jesus came to earth for our sorry selves. Because, of course we believe that without Jesus doing a selfless act to pay for our collective sins we’re well...screwed."
