First Sunday in Advent

The first Sunday in Advent

We celebrate with the Advent Wreath

And the lighting of the first Advent Candle

. . . .

And loading the breakfast room stereo with Christmas music

With the smell of orange and clove from the pomanders in the kitchen

To the smell of the fresh greens of the Advent wreath

It's beginning to smell a little like Christmas at Linderhof.

The rest of the Christmas decorations come later

We are not in a hurry anymore to decorate 

Nor do we decorate from cellar to garret
