The children say that we have to take our candles with us when we go to Granny's house because we have to do this every night.

I am making an effort to be simple in our celebrations this year, but I've been wanting an advent spiral for years. We can use the candles throughout the year, but spiraled on our dining room table with some pine boughs it is just right for counting the days.
