Advent wreaths are a big thing here in Germany. Everyone has one. You can pick ones with fresh leaves up at every supermarket and florist. Wreaths without fresh leaves can be found at any store that sells knick knacks. Or you can be creative and make your own. I love making my own, especially with fresh evergreens, but never seem to get round to it these days. I have all the stuff you need to make one :(

| From 2015! When I had more time :) |
By the time I think of buying one I can't find a decent one. That's because I think to buy one a couple of days before the first advent. So today being Thursday and the first advent being on Sunday there is no hope of getting a good one.
Here is my solution. And I hope it is useful to all you busy mums out there.
What you need:
4 candles
A tray to hold all 4 candles
Shiny STUFF!
So the biggest problem here is getting the candles. But I have become wise with that and buy a whole stack after Christmas at IKEA. I think the ones I put out today were bought two years ago!
What is there to say. Arrange your candles and decorate! The shiny stuff I use is mainly decorations that were bought for the tree. And the tree ain't going up for another 2.5 weeks!!
Happy Advent!
