Advent
Dec 1st and I think of all the families all over the world arranging rotas for their children to have their fair share of opening the advent calendars and having the much prized shape of chocolate inside. Our favourite is the Divine fair trade one with heart shaped chocolate.
I have hung up the advent wreath on the front door. It was bought in Redhill market some years ago and has pretty red and gold decorations including some little toy drums one of which was pinched by a cheeky carol singer!
So, let Advent begin.
Come, Lord Jesus!
I still hang up our hand-sewn Advent Calendar with its numbered pockets - but they are empty now as the girls have flown the nest.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Fairtrade Dark Chocolate though!
