Christmas advent

Few days back, Songheng asked me what's this candle thingy everyone is putting up by every single window they see and I have absolutely no idea, until I saw my friend's post on Instagram...

"The seven candle is a Swedish pre-Christmas tradition called Advent, meaning arrival/coming, whereby it's lighted on the 4th Sunday before Christmas and it's a way to look forward to Christmas and winter solstice (21st December) when the day starts to get longer as it is so dark during winter"

Hen interesting.
