Coming from Norway it's amazing to see how much we have in common. The calender, the wreath and everything.<BR/><BR/>To me Advent and Christmas season is the best time of the year and covering so many lovely memories.

We always start December 1st. because of a special calendar we use that gradually tells the story of Jesus' birth. All day yesterday the kids were *so* excited and just couldn't wait until after dinner!<BR/><BR/>I love your decorations, but especially the little house.

Ours are always German made. <BR/>What a special time it is each evening looking for the right number to open and discovering what has been hidden.

Sounds much like Hannukah where on the first day you light 1 candle, 2nd day 2 candles and so on until on the 8th day all 8 candles are lit.
