Winter lights

Up here in the North, winter to me means two things - longer nights and shorter days, and candles in every window to light up in the dark. It's so pretty and it gives such a cozy, lovely feeling. <3 Unlike in other parts of the world, we don't have all that much Christmas lights. Just enough to make it look like the gardens are strewn with stars, and candles in the windows.
This sunday is the first of Advent, so these seven-branched chandeliers have been popping up in windows - ours too. To get up in the morning, when it's all dark, to these chandeliers... *sigh* I love it. <3 And I look forward to the day when we'll have our own house in the country, when it will be even darker and more silent in the winter. And torches in the snow. <3 We don't have any snow yet but hopefully it will arrive in time for Christmas.
When the lights will glow in the dark like fireflies. Ahh, I can't wait! <3

I'll share a little bit of Swedish Christmas with you. <3
