Advent Time

Today advent time starts. It is the 1. Advent and time to light one candle. Every Sunday till Christmas one candle can be lit. And then on 24th December Christmas Eve will be here.




In Germany Advent time has a strong tradition and can be a wonderful, cozy time. Cold outside and warm and cozy inside. Cuddling up with a hot cup of tea and eating yummy biscuits. I already baked x-mas biscuits (Weihnachtsplaetzchen). Yesterday morning it snowed. Thick snowflakes came down for about an hour. But soon all was gone again. Melted away  It's cold but not minus degree during the day. Let's see if we'll get a white Christmas.

Everywhere over the country the Christmas markets are opened. Maybe we'll visit one today...

Of course the advent calender shouldn't be missing. Unthinkable especially if you have kids. Many Germans make their own or you can buy a chocolate advent calender as well. And enjoy the time!
