Lighting the first candle

Four Sundays before Christmas it is a Swedish
tradition to light the first of the four candles. The first
candle symbolizes the beginning of the Christmas celebration
period according to the church but no matter what you believe,
lighting a candle in these dark times just doesn't need a particular
reason. On each of the following Sundays another candle
is lit and on Christmas eve you should end up with four
glowing candles if you got it right ;)

I have started getting our flat into Christmas mood and have only
gotten one present left to buy (because I get SO excited and because
I HATE shopping with too many people around).

I hope you are having a nice and relaxing weekend!!!!

Lots of love
