Advent Calendar: Day 1


First up, the wreath. This frequently features as the first square in the calendar, because the 1st of December is often the day we put a wreath on our door (which, coincidentally, is also red!) - the wreath this year, at the moment, is actually a wooden heart with twigs and berries, rather than a proper wreath, but I will probably change it to something more elaborate closer to Christmas... The wreath is not the only square which tends to be put up on the same day every year - the square with the Christmas tree inevitably goes up the day we actually put our tree up, and the square with the Baby Jesus in a manger usually (always?) goes up on the 25th. Othwerise, things do vary...




Poor lonely square! Oh well, I'm sure December will rush by before we know it...

I wondered if you would put a nativity theme on the 25th and now I know!
