Angel chimes is a classic Christmas decoration in Sweden & it’s based on the principle that the heat from the candles causes a propeller to spin, which causes the little angels to move & ring.
The angels & the gentle sound are connected to the Christmas message of peace. The movement & sound has made it a cozy & atmospheric tradition in many Swedish homes.
The first day of Advent marks the beginning of a period of preparation for Christmas. It’s a time when it’s customary to decorate the home with a Christmas tree & Christmas decorations. Advent, for those who celebrate, provides a chance to reflect on the meaning of Christmas & create an atmosphere of shared anticipation.
Happy midsummer to all my family & friends around the world ☀️🇸🇪
