This Sunday was the first Sunday of Advent. Here in Stavanger that is the day the Christmas lights go on and the big tree is lit. This year I played with a group from my brass band at the opening of the ginger-bread-house town. There was a lot of people and the Christmas spirit high.
I got some Christmas cookies and enjoyed some Christmas soda like I usually do when the season starts for me. And the day was spent on the company of good friends.
Today I got to open the first gift in the lovely calendar my Mother made for me. I must say I’m really enjoying the season.

Perfect shots for the WP snow!
Thank you! I like the WP snow.
That is so sweet having a homemade Advent calendar and it looks like a fun day out on Sunday. The cookies look scrummy. By the way, I have seen many blogs today with the snow across the screen motif – how do you do that? Have a lovely evening – I bet it gets dark very early for you now.
It’s in the settings. I can’t remember how I did it because I set it up last year or the year before to appear every december.
Okay, thanks I know where to start searching…but knowing wordpress they have now changed everything!!
You are probably right there. Google might help you out if you can’t find it.

Thank you very much Chris!
Welcome Maja – I had to do a quick check myself first 😄😄😄 Have a GREAT December 🎉🎈🐵
Thank you again Chris. I wasn’t close to my computer and couldn’t search it out myself. A Great December to you too!
Dear masgautsen, I enjoyed getting into the Christmas spirit with your post. Warm regards, Charles (Thanks for today’s “like”)
Thank you Charles.
Many thanks for your help Chris with the snow. Got it up and working but no slight problem with snow on white background! Ha!
There is always something, Annika!
Beautiful! We never make Christmas cookies…We should. It’s part of the advent….togetherness,
Togetherness is very important!
Sweet! Now, what’s Christmas soda?
It’s sweet red soda with Christmas label. There are many different brands.
That sounds so tasty! I’ll take one!
It’s very nice! But I’m glad we only drink them in a limited period.
Very sweet?
Quite
The Christmas lights are starting to go up around here too which I enjoy as my daily commute is thoroughly dark.
One of the wonderful things about the season! Hope yours is amazing.
Good cookies and delicious 🙂
Very good cockies!
I love the Christmas season and so miss my advent wreath. I gave advent calendars to all my nieces but have not one of my own. Guess I’ll have to make one for next year. It looks so festive there and hope you didn’t freeze playing in your band. The cookies looked scrumptious. Thanks for letting me know where to find the snow. Got it done now though it plays heck with my vision. A bit distracting even though it’s fun. Have a silly day. 🙂
I love the season too! I feel very lucky to have gotten a calendar. My band played Indoors so we were comfortable and warm. A silly and lovely day to you!
Oh I’d like to get WordPress snow, but I don’t know how. However, love the photo you posted. It really sets the mood for the season, Masgautsen. 😀
Chris aka the story reading ape. Gave a very good description. In my comments to this post. Admin-settings-general-snow 😊
And Thank you very much for the complement.
Thank you, Masgautsen. :o)
