Second week of Advent

For each week of Advent I want to focus on 4 areas. I will keep the areas but change the focus for each week of the season. :) Want some organizative structure with good spiritual intentions? I´m your girl. :D

Week 1 revisited:
Intention: Love
Decoration: door
Room: Kitchen
Christmas tradition: cards

On to week 2

Intention: Peace

Second Advent Sunday

I have taken to lighting candles while I work on the computer and each night on the mantlepiece. I breathe deeper when coming towards somebody who is already stressed. Emotions tend to run high during the season. I bring my own Peace with me. ;)

Decoration: Christmas tree

Traditionally Christmas trees go up on Virgin Mary´s Day (December 8th) and stay up until the 12th Day of Christmas (January 6th) when the The Wise Men arrive with gifts for children (and young at heart) just like they brought gifts for Jesus so many years ago.

Room: bedrooms
TASK OF THE WEEK: make your room your sanctuary. A place where to retreat when the festivities get overwhelming. A place to rest and re-energize.
*Get your surfaces clean. Get rid of clutter on your bedside tables (Just throw everything IN it if need be ;) )
*Quick dusting of headrests, wardrobes and appliances. Get that energy moving!

Christmas tradition: gifts

Now my kids are older and Santa doesn´t get a long list of toys things can get tricky. This month for the Advent calendar they are getting "experiences" like tickets to the Animé Convention. :)


The images were taken this month and they are part of the December Views project.
