First Sunday of Advent on Gotland

Today is the First Sunday of Advent. We lit the first candlelight in our four-armed candelabras. We place Advent stars in our windows. We taste the first gingerbread and saffron buns. As the days pass by, we get closer to Christmas.

On Gotland, the tradition of Christmas markets started last weekend in Visby. This weekend, there is a Christmas market in Bläse, which is situated right across Kappelshamns Bay, where I am living. We will go there today to pick up some Christmas spirit.

I live and work on Gotland, Sweden’s biggest island, right in the middle of the Baltic Sea. I’m interested in many things and somehow I happened to start four blogs with different content.

Asa In the Middle of the World is in English and is also about life on this island, but the content has changed to be more about Apple. I’m very interested in Apple and since 1989 I’m a Happy Apple User.
