It's the most wonderful time of the year

With barely 6 hours to spare, we managed to empty the rental premises. Now I just hope that the transport company will come as promised tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow is the first Advent in Sweden and according to tradition, that is when you light the Advent stars that hang in the windows. Myself, I cheated and lit them right after I hung them up tonight at 10 p.m. (GMT+2).

So far I have put up four advent stars, two in the living room, one in the office and one in the kitchen. The world's most perfect teenager has asked not to have an advent star in his room, something he thinks I have complied with, he will be surprised tomorrow when I hang the star in his room. Also, I have two stars to hang in the master bedroom tomorrow. Then I'm done.

Next weekend I will decorate the Christmas tree. We have over 600 Christmas ornaments from mainly Georg Jensen but also about twenty from Swarovski. Neither Junior nor the world's most perfect husband has the slightest interest in decorating the tree, except for the top star. Since 15 years ago, it has been tradition for Junior to put up the top star.
