Well, now that we are past the 26th Nov, so it is time to take out the Christmas decorations. This year Tom has decided we can buy some lights to hang on the house. So we bought 5m of isicle lights. Unfortunately this only covers the back door enterance.
In Denmark there is a tradition where starting the 1st December you begin to burn a calender candle. This is normally a tall candle that has markings on it for each day & you burn it down to that days mark. This year however they had block candles, one for each day & I decided to buy them instead.
Another tradition is that they have an advents wreth that is often made of fresh greenery & has 4 candles. You light one each Sunday for 4 sundays before Christmas. This is the first year we have had one & we made it ourselves.
They also have all these decorations made out of straw. The most common are pigs & goats. I have no idea why!
