Advent, Advent...

Advent has come late this year and - according to Florian Silbereisen, who moderates "The Advent Feast of 100 000 Lights" on German TV - hasn't been this short for quite a few decades. But it has started today, and I've realized that I'm behind schedule. So I hurriedly hung up last year's Advent calendar in my room, putting tiny Milka chocolate bars into the backpack of the Christmas elves, who form a lovely little Christmas tree on my wall.

See for yourself:



And I baked a square pear cake today - granted, it isn't part of the Christmas baking, but we happened to have pears that were too hard for Mum to eat them raw, so I needed a method to make them enjoyable for her:



The pictures aren't very good, because the Pinterest app is acting up and refuses to let me upload photos directly from my iPad. So I have to mail them to myself first, resize them and do all possible tricks to make them visible, but it still isn't the same. Drat.

Enjoying it? I'm like a kid in a candy store! Speaking of which, I'll try to show it to my students tomorrow!
