Christmastime is here. Today is the first sunday of Advent and german traditions demand a wreath. It has to be decorated with four candles. "Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt, erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier, dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür." (Translation: "Advent, advent, a small candle burns, first one, then two, then tree, then four, then Christ Child stand for the door." Hey, it still rhymes in english.) We have an Advent wreath, of course. This is a household with children. One flesh and bone and three resin ones. Not to count the vinyl ones...
This year we've got one with holly leves and berries. The candles are bees wax as usual. That smells so good.
We wish all of you, wherever you live, what ever you believe in, of what color your skin is, if you're handicapped or not, if your healthy and wealthy and wise or if you're sick and poor and simple, we wish all of you peace of mind and body. May this time of the year be a mercy, may you be blessed and may peace and love follow you wherever you are.
