Advent Wreaths

Sunday, 20 November 2005 by Jacob Tomaw

When I visited Joscelynn in Germany two years ago the holiday market season was in full swing. The weihnachtsmarkt in Freiburg was full of booths selling a variety of items. It seemed like half of them were selling Advent wreaths. There was a wide variety of them with decorations and candles in different colors It really struck me because I was not sure if I had ever seen Advent wreaths for sell in the US.

Now, Jos and I want an Advent wreath and we cannot find one. A couple greenery lots have popped up around us and Jos went looking for a wreath, but she was put off by the sales person when he said they were “pretty expensive.” Also, I think they were the typical writhes for hanging, we could make it work but as a last resort. Everyone seems to think the only place we can find on is in a Christian bookstore. I am sure we can find them there, but why only there? First, we live in the godless big city and we don’t have a local Christian bookstore. Second, there are Menorahs and Kwanza sets everywhere.

All we want is a tree hole!
