Advent Time

Next Sunday ist the first Advent Sunday.
Does that mean something to you?

Cold winter was a-howling over moor and over mountain, and wild was the surge on the dark rolling sea

@ to whom it may concern:

Today is the FIRST SUNDAY in Advent.
So the first red candle is burning on our green Adventskranz.
I hope you know what an Adventskranz is.
If not, I can tell you later.

I think the Adventkranz is a holly wreath with for red candles inside the circle, and that one candle is lit on each Sunday during Advent. I believe that many years ago in Germany, people waited until Christmas Eve to decorate a Christmas tree.

In the small village in Scotland where I grew up, Advent didn't exist but holly wreathes were placed on graves in mid December, and there was an annual Christmas walk in which the procession was led by a big drum (decorated with holly) and a flute (fyffe) band.

Sounds great!
