Well, dear readers, it's that time again. That special time when the Daring Duo regrets not having blogged more all year, and resolves to make up for it with 24 posts in 24 days-- in other words, it's Advent at ADAFT!
This year we're taking a bit of a different approach and going back to our roots. Instead of focusing wholly on Christmas, we're focusing on Denmark. When we started blogging, we regularly wrote about the oddities of Danes and about the trials and tribulations of being ex-pats. And then we stopped doing that, and just started posting pictures of our European travels and our semi-naked baby in the Baltic Sea. And you know, it's not just because we had a baby (adorable though she surely is). It's because after a while you get used to things, and really, not that much about Danish life seems unusual or remarkable anymore.
Still, I miss the days when we told you about our struggles to buy groceries, or our astonishment at the enormous scarves that are de rigeur here. So this year for Advent you can expect lots of anecdotes about our Danish life-- like language mishaps and bilingual toddler stories-- but also pictures of the lovely Danish coast, recipes for Danish delicacies, and obviously, singing, dancing
nisser.
Klar, parat, start! Og god Jul!

| Decorating the Juletræ means you need lots of Julestjerner. |

| Also you need lots of lights up here in the far North. |

| Stay tuned later this week when we review how to fold Julestjerner so you can make your own! |
