It’s filled with goodies again this year. My advent calendar. I have very few traditions that I keep up, but this is one I was glad to revive last year. Admitted, this year the goodies are only half as good as they were last year (then they came directly from Germany with a huge assortment of choices – and Germany does have some great treats, I assure you!). But still, it’s a full blown advent calendar; that serves as decoration and comfort in a place where there’s otherwise few indications of the season! And if there’s no sign of Christmas outside, well then we have to make it even more like Christmas inside!

In that sense, let the season begin! And I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas season 2011!
