First of Advent


 Sweden celebrates First of Advent by putting electrical candlesticks in the windows and start opening our advent calender. And so do we. 
 Read more about it here:

By the time December comes round, Sweden has very few hours of daylight. The sun drops out of sight in the afternoon. The first Sunday of Advent comes as an eagerly awaited sign that Christmas is approaching. Although by then, of course, the world of commerce has made sure we know what is coming — sales campaigns begin in mid-November and Christmas shop windows and street decorations are already in place.
