Advent calendar

A small Advent calendar – different to the usual ones – that doesn’t take too much space.

And perhaps a little less commercial f you wish, with small things, caring words, simple poems or nice photos.

Gifts are one of the things that belongs to Christmas. We learn to write wish lists to Santa Claus when we are small. Age has no importance whatsoever when it comes to Christmas gifts. It sparkles as much in the adults’ eyes as the little ones. It’s important with the content for some of us, but what creates the whole feeling are the packages themselves, wrapping paper, string, ribbon & all colours. Speaking of wish lists, our guys still writes lists every year for Christmas. Maybe not so much for sending to Santa, but to maintain the tradition, the feeling & excitement. Perhaps also to ensure that a couple desires are met, who knows!

Daily inspiration, green plant

Newspaper, cotton string & a nice green plant – and there you go – a great gift that lasts for a long time. Position it in the right place & you will get a nice eye-catcher.

Christmas gifts

IICHRISTMAS – gifts, Christmas night, longing, joy & togetherness. Time together with my loved ones, no stress or any other demands – just tiiiiiiime. The joy of moments together – getting to sink into the comfort of your home, with the people you love. The TV or music is on in the background. The darkness that comes creeping towards the evening, lit candles, blankets & pillows & a long night of conversation & storytelling.

Christmas presents are of course a part of Christmas goodies, but not the most essential after all. It’s about being together, with time as a precious gift. To feel the joy in everything that’s great or small & above all – health. That’s my present to you – wishing you the best in health & love.
