Advent


Christmas is approaching! Three candles are lit and time goes by doing family activities. I'm used to Norwegian advent candle songs, but this one is beautiful too!

A candle is burning, flames warm and bright,
a candle of hope in December's dark night.
While angels sing blessing from heaven's starry sky,
our hearts we prepare now for Jesus is nigh.

A Candle is burning, a candle of peace,          
a candle to signal that conflict must cease:          
for Jesus is coming to show us the way;          
a message of peace humbly laid in the hay.

A candle is burning, a candle of joy.          
A candle to welcome brave Mary's new boy.          
Our hearts fill with wonder, and eyes light and glow          
as joy brightens winter like sunshine on snow.




And we've been cross country skiing  in the Winter Wonderland today!
