The smell of Pine

For the second Sunday now, the room is surrounded by a cosy ambiance when we light up the advent candles. The wreath is handmade with Thuja and Pine branches from my familly garden, back in the East.

This is a Christmas tradition originally coming from Germany, that crossed the borders and is very common in Lorraine/Alsace.

I like to follow it here in Paris, it counts down the 4 weeks before Christmas, and brings the comforting feeling that soon we’ll be home to celebrate.
