I'm not sure what that is but it looks pretty!

Wow, I could even decipher that! (not that it was too difficult)

Nice Adventkranz! (no clue about the English word, sorry :) )

This is an advent wreath. The last four sundays before christmas are, at least in Denmark, called the four sundays in advent - they have something to do with the church new year, though I am not clear on the details. It is traditionel to make a wreath with four candles - on the first sunday one candle is lighted, on the second sunday two and so forth.

I have always thought of it as kind of an official start of the christmas month, even when it is a couple of days too early.
