London was filled with Christmas, in every nook and corner. Still only the last week of November, still many weeks till December 24 and 25.
I came home just before midnight last night, only a few minutes before December 1st. To a tidy and clean house, Terje is always very good at that. But with no traces neither of Christmas nor of advent. No traces, just like I wanted it.......then I can take part in it all :-)
Then, this morning, I woke up to all the unpacking, and to a little grandson filling the living room floor with toys. Still no traces of advent. But we are on the track now.
Today, December 1st. I am winding back all the hundreds of Christmas trees and wreathes and candles and music and whatever filled my last week. I am taking a step back to find the peace and quiet which I hope to fill the advent weeks with. The first candle in our advent wreath will be lit tomorrow. Today I will prepare the house, and if there is enough time, I will have Leander help me to set up the annual nativity village.
And tonight I plan to write the first Christmas card. To one of you perhaps? Leave a comment if you want one, and I will pick one of you.
*************
I will do advent and Christmas blogging in three different blogs this year (at least).
Britt-Arnhild´s House in the Woods ( in English)
The knitting blog, maskerade (in Norwegian and hopefully English as well)
and in
Vandring gjennom året og Vandring mot Kristmesse (in Norwegian)
And there will also be a few vlogs or pods over at Britt Arnhild on YouTube
(subscribe to my You-Tube channel to be sure to get them all)
Use this link to fine my advent blog posts from previous years.
