Imagine your little advent calendar at home how you open a little box each day in December or you open a door or look in a pouch and you find something special. Well here in Germany with our little church we have a very big Advent Calendar. We call it an Advent Fenster (meaning Advent Window). Each family in the church is assigned a day in December and you put that number in your window. On your day, everyone comes to your house at 5pm. You can choose what you want to do for them. You can read a story, play some music or in our case you can have a piñata!
The kids loved it so much because most German kids have only seen one once or have never seen one before. We had a fire and also some homemade garlic bread. We even had apple tea that is neon green, another thing that the kids don't get often. The kids and even the parents loved it. We had so much fun, see for yourself.
The piñata fell so they beat it with the stick and got the candy out!
Joshua had such a great idea to bring this old bathtub from Andres house and build a fire.
These are the old stairs that Joshua and I have been painting and peeling paint from. The outside of the stairs are painted at the moment. We have a lot more work to do.
After a day of getting ready for this Advent Fenster, we treated ourselves to some Haci Babas! My amazing vegetarian doner.
