Christmas

Advent: Stress or harmony?

stress:You have to buy many presents. Because of that people run from shop to shop. This gets on your nerves. At school the pupils write many classtests and everyone is in a rush. 

harmony:The families bake cookies. The Christmas preparation is the reason why the families come together. It's fun to sing Christmas charols and the children have an calendar with sweets. A German tradition is binding an advent wreath. 

Advent is the time you wait for the birth of Jesus. Arrival is another word for advent. 

conclusion: Advent is a time with much harmony for me. It's a very happy time. 
What is advent for you?
