Advent calendar, starry light and

 


mulled wine

 

I'm in a wonderful mood for the Advent season, firstly the snow came on time, secondly we had a wonderful family celebration and thirdly I've already visited a few Christmas markets. I like the old markets with historical stalls and crafts... here are photos for you...






















I am a person who embraces Christmas and allows myself to be embraced.

Christmas is the festival of joy, charity, family and security.

The time leading up to Christmas is a time for reflection and a time to switch back... the quietest time of the year.

I wish you happiness and joy.

  2. Nydelige bilder nok en gang. Ser du vet å nyte førjulstida, og det er bra! Vi må passe på så det ikke blir for travelt. Jeg gleder meg til besøk av datter med familie i helga.

    Gode førjulsønsker til deg og dine; Viola!

  4. Your pictures from the Christmas markets are beautiful. I love Christmas markets but unfortunately, where we live there aren't any. I attended one in Mexico City one year and loved it!

  12. This is my favorite time of year, too!! For all the reasons you mentioned. A time to love and kindness in the world one would hope. At least we can spread it to whomever we meet. That looks like a lovely market. :)

  19. Bonjour Viola,
    Je ne suis pas fan des fêtes de fin d'année. Je regrette cette débauche de dépenses, toutes ces victuailles et ces objets dans les vitrines. J'aime les Noël frugaux et j'aime observer la magie de Noël dans les yeux des enfants,, mais cela se limite à cela.
    J'espère que vous aurez un bon Noël avec de la neige. Profitez-en bien.

  23. How absolutely delightful do those Christmas markets look! The ones we have here - at least the ones I've been to - aren't nearly as exciting.
    And you've got snow! In fact, we had some snow last Sunday, but it was all gone by Monday morning :-( xxx

  26. Hi Viola!
    I love the Christman season, and really enjoy this time. Lovely pictures from the Markets. We got snow and it has been quite cold, now the temperature has changed towards 0 degrees. I hope the snow doesn´t melt. Have a lovely weekend and second Advent.

  31. Kjære Viola. Så fine bilder. Jeg ser mange motiver fra Dresden. Ute her i Vesterålen henger en Herrnhuterstjerne og lyser opp midt i mørketida! Den er så vakker og vekker gode minner. Nyt førjulstiden, hils. Klem

  35. Så fine bilder fra julemarkeder! Det var julemarked på museet her i byen forrige helg, men jeg hadde ikke overskudd til å gå den dagen. Nå er julegaver ferdig ordnet og jeg kan kose meg med mine mysteriestrikk :)
    Jeg har bakt litt i dag, og har bare pepperkaker igjen å bake. Gleder meg over dagene mot jul. Kos deg videre med juleforberedelser og hygge. Klem Marit Johanne

  38. Liebe Viola, das sieht eindeutig nach einem stimmungsvollen Adventmarkt aus - und mir geht es wie dir, ich komme leichter in Weihnachtsstimmung, wenn es Schnee und Glühwein gibt ;-) Aber es ist okay, dass der Schnee jetzt wieder weg ist und wir uns ein bisserl aufwärmen können :-D
    Herzig auch die beiden Hunde am Schluss!
    Du hast in deinem Kommentar die Adventmärkte in Wien erwähnt - ja da gibt es (neben den großen, kommerziellen) auch einige sehr nette. Einen davon zeige ich in meinem aktuellen Post. Einen weiteren aus der Nähe Wiens gibt es dann beim nächsten Mal zu sehen.
    Super, dass du so eine Schaffnermütze selber nähen kannst, wie wir sie zum Spielen verwendet haben! Irgendwann werde ich meiner Nähmaschine wieder eine Chance geben bzw. noch einmal einen Nähkurs machen, denn ich KÖNNTE es so gern, ich habe immer wieder Ideen, die ich nicht umsetzen kann. Beim Häkeln gelingt mir das besser, da kann man leichter "schummeln" ;-DD
    Alles Liebe und weiterhin eine schöne, genussvolle Vorweihnachtszeit, Traude
