On Sunday it's the 1st Sunday of Advent, which for us Scandinavians kickstarts Christmas. So as it is tradition, we make an Advent candle decoration - with four candles - one for each Sunday leading up to Christmas - the idea is to light the first one, then the 2, (you get the drift)at the end the decoration has 4 lit candles- all different sizes! These are awesome examples of what you can do at home (with a bit of skill:)
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE
