1 Advent in Sweden

Today is the 1 of Advent, the first of four Sundays before Christmas. In Sweden - this is the day we start to dress and prepare our houses for Christmas. So this afternoon I went out in the storm to look for green lingonberry leaves, pine cones and grey moss on twigs, that I'll use for all sorts of traditional Christmas decorations coming weeks. 

How do YOU prepare for Christmas where you are?

  1. I'm planning to hit our Pacific North-West Canadian Coast rain forest this coming weekend to get my fill on the luscious green moss and plenty of different fir tree cones. This is the first time I've ever seen the lingonberry in its natural form. Thanks for sharing. Gosia
