It is the first Sunday of Advent. Time to light the first candle in the four armed candlestick – according to Swedish tradition. One candle for each Sunday of Advent. I remember when I was a kid and it felt like ages between every Sunday and that it would never be  Christmas.

Stars or electric candles in the windows every where I look. I’m into stars. Here are two of them. No real snow so far, but I hope to get a white Christmas – of course. Cold, crisp air, dark sky, gleaming snow. Take a long walk to a Christmas Eve Midnight Mass. Candles and songs. Peace.
