NaBloPoMo! The intention was not just to find something to blat out once a day, but to be more mindful about writing. I blatted. I was not very mindful. I just didn’t give it the time it wanted. I’m still not, look at me, trying at 11:42 to come up with something, anything, before midnight. I do have something I’ve been thinking about, but of course that would take too long to write out, and it would be December by the time I clicked the “publish” button.
December, yay! Y’all who aren’t already here, really should come out for Christmas sometime. Christmas in Bavaria is so sparkly! And it smells like gingerbread and oranges and cinnamon and happiness. And it starts four Sundays before Christmas Eve, and ends on January sixth, which is miles better than the paltry few days I remember giving it in the U.S. I went to the Christmas Market today in Marienplatz, and got candles for the Advent wreath I bought yesterday – totally forgot that I’d meant to put floaty-candles in a bowl of water and surround it with greenery, like I did last year. So okay, it’s more traditional this year – remind me to get a picture of it, sometime.

Hmmmm…floating candles with greenery sounds like a good idea. I never have an Advent Wreath before…I might have to give that a try.
