I can’t believe that it is the second week of Advent already! Advent is the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas, in which you anticipate the birth of Jesus. True advent followers don’t put up their Christmas trees until Christmas, but I do. Growing up, we always put the tree up in the beginning of December so to me putting up the Christmas tree is anticipating Christmas.
L was excited to see the big tree take shape in our living room and of course he had fun putting the decorations on. He started with the gold balls, then realized that there were red balls that he could put on. The trouble was that the gold balls were all hanging on his favourite 3 branches, so he took them all off to make room for the red balls. In the end all of the decorations made it onto the tree with a little bit of sneaking from me.
Sunday we woke up to this year’s first snowfall. Of course it melted, but there was more snow this morning. Now it really does feel like Christmas is in 2 1/2 weeks.
