Adventskranz

Before December starts we always make our Adventskranz (wreath) with 4 candles. And the four weeks before Christmas we light the candles. Each week one more until all four are burning the Sunday before Christmas.

This year we opted for a "small" arrangement of candles instead of a wreath as we do not have much room and also 2 toddlers who like to play with it.

We did go into the woods to pick some branches and my mom made a big wreath, but we used some of the smaller branches to make a little arrangement for our table.

The kids love to light the candles and blow them out. 
And Finn learned a little poem I used to say as a little child. 
Every day we light the candles, say our poem and blow them out  - usually multiple times, until Mama does not want to light them anymore :-)
