Christmas Hassles -Day 23 Advent 2017
Christmas Hassles Day 23 Advent 2017 It happens that we don't open our advent Calendars on the right day, that we are a day late or so.

Footprints in the snow
Silence falls
over a sleeping town
as the icy breeze stills
snow starts coming down
Christmas Time Comes with Hot Chocolate – Day 16 Advent 2017
Christmas Time Comes with Hot Chocolate Day 16 Advent 2017 “Do you have any money for us Miss?” It must have been the 10th time on her way home from work that someone was actively asking her for money. Like the other times that evening in mid-December she shook her head, said “sorry” and tried … Continue reading Christmas Time Comes with Hot Chocolate – Day 16 Advent 2017
Sankta Lucia by Annika Perry – Day 13 Advent 2017
HAPPY LUCIA
TODAY in Sweden nearly every home, school, hospital, factory, workplace, church, hotel and restaurant is celebrating LUCIA.
Lucia is the Bringer of Light and is celebrated on what, in the old almanac, was the darkest day of the year. The day is one of light, hope and love. The tradition has its roots in St. Lucia of Syracuse who died as a martyr in AD304.
Christmas Mash-Up by Stephanie Ascough – Day 9 Advent 2017
I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season! Building holiday traditions with my family makes me happy. We may be slow to decorate, but the handmade ornaments, Christmas candles and fragrant evergreen tree delight us all nonetheless. We’ll enjoy looking at Christmas lights and singing carols at our church.
What has fascinated me for several years now are the many origins of Christmas celebrations. Refill your cocoa mug and light an evergreen candle, because this is gonna be fun.
PANETTONE SEASON! by Judith Works – Day 6 Advent 2017
PANETTONE SEASON! by Judith Works
Actually, it’s the holiday season. In the US this means from Thanksgiving to New Year’s day. So I have about five weeks to indulge in my favorite treat: panettone, that traditional sweet and oh-so-delicious Italian Christmas bread. About the first of November the stores, even in my corner of Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, begin stacking up the colorful boxes in windows and shelves and I begin loading up the shopping cart. The bread is distinctive – tall and domed and nestled in a paper cuff.
The worst Christmas ever by Tess M Garfield – Day 4 Advent 2017
Gazing through the living room window, Jessica lacks the excitement of every other seven-year-old girl she knows. It’s Christmas Eve, and instead of getting into her pyjamas ready for an early night, she has to travel to a cottage in the middle of who knows where—Mum’s idea of the perfect family Christmas.
Yuletide at Castle Marsh by Jemima Pett – Day 2 Advent Calendar 2017
Here we are in the lead-up to Yuletide again. It’s such a busy time, but very enjoyable, and although he would never admit it, it’s a time Fred finds very stressful these days.
There are a lot of duties on the King of Marsh, and he’s already despatched three of them, starting with the Solstice Speech, which traditionally reminds us of the passage of the sun round the sky and the Circle of Life. This is not exactly what Fred’s Philosophical Thoughts say, as he has it on good authority that our world travels round the sun.
