A lot of people celebrate Advent the same way here in Canada. I stopped lighting candles when we ended up with my daughter's rescue cats. They climb all over the place so it's just not safe. I was happy to see that Carlos figured out to put the ribbon through before the balls got hard. We usually take a blob of the seed mixture, lay the ribbon across it, put another blob on top and form the ball around the ribbon. We pull the ribbon back and forth a bit to make sure it's straight, snug the ball up again and leave it to harden. Thanks for another fun video. Love seeing the birds at the end.

We are Wisconsin Synod German Lutherans. Our advent is marked by a wreath of pines branches with four candles. They stand for Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Weeks 1, 2, and 4 are either purple or dark blue. Week 3 is pink or rose colored. Sometimes we have a 5th white candle, called the Christ Candle, which is lit on Christmas Day. The four candles remind us that in the four weeks of Advent we are preparing for the coming of the Christ Child, who is the light of the world. The wreath of evergreen could also help a person think of everlasting life. Blessings on your Advent preparations, and thank you for sharing your traditions with us!

At 66 years old, I’m still learning new English words. We also have regional dialects and many, many colloquialisms. I’ve noticed you have a very good learning habit, which is to repeat the word when Carlos supplies the word in English. Keep up the good work! I love hearing the Norwegian when you speak, and I’m surprised how many words I understand. ❄️😘❄️
