it's still november, but it's the first day of advent. we cleaned the apartment when we came home, and set up our advent wreath and nature table.
"we light one candle shining bright, upon this holy advent night, fill our hearts with loving might, lead us to christmas day's brilliant light."
"the first light of advent is the light of stones, light that lives in seashells, in crystals and in bones." we also sang "people look east" together after having a simple dinner of german pancakes. (korrina had some lentil soup since she's been feeling a bit under the weather).
an envelope had arrived from morgana with birthday gifts for korrina and chanda.
the material is a headband from the fitness center where morgana teaches her dance classes.
chanda received a german translation of romeo and juliet.
Advent Blessings to you all!

Thank you, San :) We have our homeschooling craft fair tomorrow. How quickly the time goes! I can't believe it's the holiday time already.
DeleteA Reclam Heft!! Do you know that I probably have about 100 of them? They have been around forever, in fact, I am reading right now "The Black Spider" for tomorrow's co-op from my Reclam edition. And Alnatura is actually a German company (where the marzipan bar is from). You are well stocked with authentic German products now!! Happy Advent!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I like being stocked with good German chocolate and books! Today in our health food store we picked out two bars of Niederegger marzipan. And I think it's time to go on the website you linked me to last year for chocolate bells for the Christmas tree. Have you put in your order yet? I know you like to get them for your students :)
DeleteThat is pretty good, the marzipan I mean. Good you are reminding me. I need to place an order there for my students. One more week of classes and the finals. I will have all students over for December 14. I hope we will be able to sing together. But with all those voice majors, that should be no problem at all. I am glad you mentioned this. I am really bad with larger time frames. I live more in the moment or in huge time frames, but a week or a month are not my cup of tea.
