The Advent Feast of 100,000 lights

[wiseheart]

It is an annual programme on German TV, taking place on the evening before the first of Advent and usually lasts 3 hours, live. Mum and I watched it. It was particularly beautiful this year, with stars like violinist David Garrett, Katherine Jenkins, Christiane Hörbiger, Mireille Mathieu, the Soweto Gospel Choir, the Shadow World acrobat group, Michelle, Ella Endlich Oonagh and so on. The Princess of Thun & Taxis participated, and the Christkind came over from Nuremberg for a visit.

As usual, they've brought the light of peace from Bethlehem this night. It was a beautiful and moving programme.

I wish we had something like this on TV.I miss the free German satelite stations I used to be able to get.

I don't know what I would do without them, either. Hungarian TV is dreadful, most of the time. And it is a means to keep my Germán vocabulary up to date.
