Zoom-mas Follow up! 4th Sunday

Hello everyone!

I want to just begin by expressing my appreciation to you for a wonderful Zoom-mas!

Whether you joined once or each week during Advent...Thank you for making this time of year extra special - for me and for my family.

We all experienced such joy from sharing our Advent traditions with you!

I hope it brought you some comfort and happiness.

This week we lit the fourth candle for peace on Earth for all people (fred) and we let the candles burn completely down.

Beginning on the 23rd, we will only burn red candles for Christmas.

Today is the Winter Solstice!

The day we long for here in the North.

Now we begin to turn back toward the sun!

Jul = the wheel...turning toward the sun.

This fourth Sunday in Advent...we really believe that turning toward the sun and the wonder of the North star is a time when the heaven and the earth meet and are one!

This beautiful song is about just that!

Here is the song about the star that shines at night and peace on earth:

He is a link that I found to help you fold the accordion paper stars here in Scandinavia...another holiday workshop we had here at home together.

At the same time, I wanted to share the TRUE Norwegian folded paper star!

I haven't tried this one this year...but my husband and my children are masters at this.

They learn this one in school.
