We love this period : Christmas is coming little by little. The wait is given rhythm by the candle we light on every Sunday on the wreath, by the pastry made of sweet leavened dough in the form of a man we eat on December 6th (St Nicholas Day), by the Christmas carols Claire teaches to the children, by the decorations that appear almost everywhere, and by the night-illuminations.
As every year, Claire made herself an Advent wreath : we shall light the first candle on Sunday.
The balls are just my colour 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 <3
My human has always been a little vague on what Advent is supposed to be, but she always thought it had nice traditions around it.
Stricto sensu, Advent is the period of 4 weeks during which Christians are waiting for Jesus coming. It’s now usually known as the period before Christmas. Purrs
Mum likes your advent display 🙂

That’s a beautiful wreath. You’re one of the few people I’ve heard mention St. Nicholas Day. That’s when we used to get our stocking filled with an apple, orange, and roasted peanuts. There were probably some other small things, but I don’t remember them.
We do it in Switzerland too : our stocking is filled with orange, peanuts and treats. Purrs
Look lovely & cheerful.
Holiday season is coming soon
=^x^=
We, too, are excited the Advent season is upon us. Claire’s wreath is beautiful!
Eine schöne Adventszeit! <3
You do more celebrating than we do. We are kind of “one week” celebrators. But enjoy this special time of year…
