Today is a very special day. Dec 1st is every year: the first day of Advent, when you start opening little parcels or calendar windows numbered 1 to 24, to help waiting for Xmas. Anna and Alex (plus Volker and all the cats) had sent me a parcel with a lovely calendar and lots of delicious home made Xmas cookies which I'm supposed to enjoy one each day. There's more that might be sent on demand, they wrote. Dear kids!Doesn't it look lovely? To make these days before Xmas even better, I bought some xmassy books yesterday evening, and will have some hot winter tea or even mulled wine when reading them, Emil purring on my lap, and a fire crackling in my chimney close by (on dvd). December is so much better than rainy and grey November!
More advent calendars online I found on the web. I'll even try the rather challenging one on mathematics. And now off to a weekend of more Xmas markets... ;)

I was bouncing on shops (for xmas purposes) in Tampere last week. I bump into something which reminds me a lot about you. Could you send me facebook-mail with your Schöneberg address. Santa might be coming to town.
