Advent

Advent, Advent,

ein Lichtlein brennt,

erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier

dann steht das Christkind for der Tuer.

I miss here in the US all the German Advent and Christmas traditions.For me,it is here not so "warm" around that time and I do not mean the temperature. I love the "Weihnachtsmarkt" in Hannover, it is about to start today, I believe. I wish I could be there and smell the "gebrannte Mandel" and "Gluehwein", see all the little tables, where Christmas decoration and handmade gifts are sold. And I think, there is already snow in Hannover. perfect for the Weihnachtsmarkt around the Marktkirche.
