Glad Second Advent!
From my house to yours wishing you all a Happy Second Advent! There are four Sundays leading up to Christmas Eve, and the Swedes celebrate them by lighting a candle for each of the four. It's just another way of saying "holy **** it's only two weeks left until Christmas!" We got the tree today but the rest of it -- decorating the house, the tree, the kids, & the cats will have to wait. Just a moment to breath and enjoy the pinescented room with candles lit for now will do. Enjoy!
